Hi,

I'm getting a LV-19 and need to know where I can safely install a strap button on the neck/heel block.

Thanks

I can't quite figure out how to paste the link.  Do a search for "strap button" and go back to November 2004 for a lengthy thread on this subject.

I just installed one on my new LV-03E and put it in my preferred -- and what was the generally preferred -- location, the treble side of the heel. Nothing but wood inside that dove-tail joint so it's all safe. I pre-drilled the hole, and put a little bit of wax on the screw, measured for the hole depth and it all came out fine. I've worked with wood and tools plenty but it WAS just a tad unnerving operating on my new Larry. But I was careful and it had a very happy ending. And yes, there is or was a great thread on this topic on here recently..

Oh, yeah -- here's the link to some great info on this topic, from the frets.com website:

Good luck!

Another good topic for a FAQ section.   :D  

Bing,

Congrats on your 1000th post!

You may notice that this is a special one for me, too.  :rolleyes:

There's a whole lot of talking going one in the Forum.   :GRN>
