Think it is originally designed for classical guitar players.
Yes it is. Classic Willie!

I don't play standing but when I do, the guitar feels more centered, balanced and easier to fret with the strap attached behind the nut. It's a personal preference.
Much easier to get on nd off, with strap tied at the nut.

This could be a separate thread! I always undo the strap and leave it off of the guitar. Then put it over my shoulder and attach the guitar when I want to play. I play standing almost always, and after a broken collarbone, i got it this habit and liked it.

I drape the strap over my shoulder then attach the instrument, usually at the neck end first. If the instrument has StrapLocs then I put them on last.

I did some research as to which location seems to work best (some say heel plate, some say the side of the heel, some say the side if the guitar itself), got out my drill and just installed it. I don’t care, it’s my guitar that ain’t going anywhere and I always thought the headstock tie strap was always in the way. Do what’s best for you.
Ditto.Side of the heel is the best for me. See Antney's photo. Not in my way at all, but more importantly it feels the most comfortable.

I was gonna with my D25 but changed my mind.No way I would drill an acoustic that missed it somehow.
The location's varied over the years.This diagram is directly from Guild in terms of location
Thank you Adorshki!The location's varied over the years.
BTW, Welcome aboard California!
Antney- do you have photos from the angles that I posted a little while ago?I did some research as to which location seems to work best (some say heel plate, some say the side of the heel, some say the side if the guitar itself), got out my drill and just installed it.
