You got it Ruston... the underside of the button will scratch the finish without the felt. The felt provides a soft, vibration free seat that is plenty snug. Of course everyone should check the tightness all screws, buttons and tuners, on a regular basis. If you want added security, put a dab of caulking in the pre-drilled button hole before installing the button.
As for the drilled hole itself, I bet I can fix that hole such that you would never see it unless you knew it was there.
