It's a very easy job to butcher, I've seen some installed by professionals that aren't great as well. Collings have a bolt on neck so you'll want to miss the bolts. I'm not crazy about the location Collings chose either, but who am I to question the late Bill Collings?

I have begun installing strap buttons on guitars I'm planning to sell (eventually all of them) just so the next owner won't have to deal with it and have a bad experience.
