:poke:Also...if I am not mistaken if you do not have it installed by a Martin Authorized repair-person you will void your warranty.

 

If you bought the guitar used please disregard my comments and go ahead and start drilling.

Even if you bought it used, a reputable shop should warranty their work. But always best to make sure they're an authorized Martin repair center. Before you have the work done, make sure they'll have it repaired or replace it if they mess up. Get a copy of their repair warranty in writing.

 

Alternatively, Martin makes a cool little button-strap gizmo that fastens around the headstock and has a button on the end of it for your git strap. I use a headstock-type strap because I get the willies about drilling a hole in my Martie.

Good info! Thanks

 

I learned that the hard way a long, long time ago, about getting a copy of a repair warranty in writing.

I just drilled a hole in my 41 Special. Treble side of the heal. Plays great balences well.

You have an expensive guitar with a good warranty. Take it and have it done by a Martin rep or sooner or later you'll reget it, that is unless you have money dripping out of your pockets.

I think it depends on your mentality. I do every setup / repair myself. I don't like other people pawing my guitars. If you do not have the skills... take it to a good shop with an outstanding reputation. Elderly, Gruhns....
