Straps on acoustics with only one button

[walrus]

and oh yeah btw, i play standing 99 percent of the time. it is much easier with the strap button screwed into the neck heel! Made to be played!

lookin good JC! i have a question, do u have an issue with the rivets on your jeans making tiny scratches on your guitar? i see you have no belt and your shirt is tucked in. my gf got me a special guitar players leather belt with reverse loops and no buckle, so there is no rash. the guitar sits on it perfectly, and actually it keeps the guitar raised enough so it doesnt hit the rivets. but if i wear jeans without it, the rivets would scratch the back, unless my shirt was covering them (the rivets) and even then its just a shirt between the rivets and the guitar...i guess most people just don't care, and really neither do i. ive certainly never held back because of it, Just an observation though. i wear jeans all the time.

I'm not sure how I've managed it, but none of the guitars I play standing up has discernible button or rivet rash. Even that D25, which I've dragged around bars, talent shows, and campfires off and on for a quarter century, has an unmarked back (it has a couple of minor dings, inevittably, but nothing on the back).

?!?!?
A strap or a button? They have made and offered straps at various times and buttons were installed on some models.
All the acoustic models I can recall seeing with buttons were cutaway electrics and had 'em mounted on a side and there was always a reinforcing block for it to be screwed into.
In Westerly they placed 'em right next to the neck on the bass side but some New Hartfords used a somewhat awkward location closer to where the shoulder curves. That one generated some negative comments here.
