Strap Button Location
I don't like the location of this strap button on my SG. Can anyone suggest a better location? Thanks in advance.

Thats a funny looking Fender.... :roll:
Not much space to work with on the SG is there?
No suggestions, sorry!

Due to those pointy little horns, there really isn't a better place to put it. Sorry! But after you play it for a few weeks, you'll get used to it. That's just where they mount them on SGs and ES-335s. 8)

Once I got used to that strap button position, I vastly preferred it over the location at the tip of the upper cutaway on other guitars.

Alright then. I'll try to get used to it or do my acoustic guitar thing; tie one end of the strap to the headstock.

SGs are great sounding guitars, but I think they are also strange... that tiny body and the baseball club neck :shock: Originally Posted by Fndrman

Well, Ajay, my SG/LP's had the slim taper neck - definitely not baseball bat sized!

This is where I put mine, but this is a homemade model.

Hmm, I'll think about that....another thought; The sound I try to get on an SG is the tone that Robby kreiger got on 'Light my Fire' and Janis Joplin's 'Piece Of My Heart'. I believe Alice Cooper's guitarists used SG's as well. Those are my favorite SG tones.
