Strap button installation instructions:

1) Decide on a location for the strap button. Normally it is installed on the base of the heel over the heel cap or on the bottom side of the heel of the neck. By installing it on the bottom, the weight of the guitar will pull the strap tight against the strap button instead of pulling the strap off the button.

2) It is a good idea to make a dent point with a center punch. This will keep the drill bit from wandering on the curved surface and marring the finish.

3) Drill a 7/64" pilot hole (Number drill #35). Make sure the pilot hole is drilled perpendicular to the wood of the heel because the screw will follow the direction of the hole.

4) If you are mounting the button to a curved surface the flat bottom of the button may leave a gap. If so, place the felt pad on the base of the button. If you have an adhesive felt pad be sure the adhesive side is stuck to the button and not to the finished wood of the guitar.

5) Rub a little candle wax on the screw threads to reduce friction and screw the button into the pilot hole. It should be snug but do not over tighten.
