Strap knob on Martin

[Gretsch Fan]

What is the Martin authorized location for the second added strap knob? I really do not like tying off on the head stock and need to put one on and do not want to void the warranty by putting in the wrong place.

The first pic in the previous post is where my authorized Martin dealer located mine. Drilled a small pilot hole first and put a felt washer under the metal button.

i go to my local guitar builder and have him make the spot where I want the pin to be. It's a lot easier with two people.

 

 

I place em in the neck heal, yet still allow me to get the best access to the upper frets.

 

Hold guitar where you want it

Take the pin and have a friend put it where you think you like it

mark it with a pencil

do the piolt hole thing, like mentioned above.

Thanks. The two-man system worked better than trying to balance the guitar and drill.

Make sure you have it done at an authorized Martin dealer/repair facility so that you don't void your warranty.,
