I have a Mid-80's 1717 Deep Bowl Legend and I have a question about the front strap mount. It is mounted below the neck, which is great for a playing stand (mostly how I have used it) but now I want to use it with a strap.

Should I be using a strap the goes to the neck? Or should I have a new mount added to the guitar? that seems a bit scary but what options do I have or what have others done??

thanks in advance

Use the strap button where it is, but change it to a strap lock type.

It actually works just fine but you could always change it to the strap lock for extra security.

I like having the strap button below the heel ... it's more comfortable playing deep bowls for me. It keeps the guitar from doing the dreaded "roundback roll".

Strap to neck works for me. Shoe laces behind the nut, under the strings.
