I've got a vintage Westerly D-55 that only has one strap button/endpin. I've never gigged with the guitar and have always played it sitting down, so have never had a need for a strap. I've always been hesitant to add another strap button since the guitar is in immaculate condition.
A situation may be coming up where I may need to play it at one of our gigs and would want to play standing up.
What do you guys who go 'old school' by tieing the strap to the headstock use? Shoe laces? Leather strips? What's best?
Or am I being foolish to not want to screw another pin into the guitar? Would this have no effect on future value?
If I did install another pin, where's the best spot? On the neck heel?
