Hello all,
I recently scored a 1997 Westerly Starfire 4 (something I've always wanted to try) and I was wondering if anyone has tried to move the strap button to the upper bout. Rickenbackers are semi-hollow and have their buttons on the upper bout, but I'm wondering if there's enough solid wood in the upper bout to support a strap button. Love the tone and sustain, but I don't like the way the guitar sits on my body. I'd like it to hang like a Rickenbacker or all my other guitars that have the strap button on the upper bout.
Thanks,
