Hi all!
I have come full circle, pretty much.
My 1st Guild was a D4, then an A25...then I went electric. Over the years I have had a (Dearmond) Starfire, Starfire III, and two X150s. Other than a couple Gretsches, I've lived the Guilded life...and now I've given all that electric stuff up now and got me a wonderful JF4. Roots.
Anyway, it came with a strap button placed in (Martin) position on the heel. I promptly removed it and filled the hole.
I wish to place it on the upper bass bout, à la many Guilds on the mid 2000's. I have a nice bit of spruce ready for the interior reinforcement.
So: anyone with an F-50 etc that came stock with the bass bout mount strap button, could you please take measurements for its location?
I have photos but it's a little hard to gauge it. I'm thinking along the lines of "x from fretboard and x from the top edge".
Also, Guild seemed to use an oversize button, anyone knows who manufactured it? It looks like Gotoh.
Thanks in advance!
