Well, Don's kazoo reply is more fun, but I suppose it could be for a strap. I'm having a physics-phobic kind of day here today. I'm thinking about the big fat (heavy) necks these guitars had. Would attaching a strap back on the bout in that location help prevent neck-diving or would it make it worse?
And no, I'm not the engineer in the family.
