fortyearspickn Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 In lieu of drilling a hole in your heel, if you want to attach the headstock end of a strap to the headstock - here is an alternative to the shoelace: https://www.martinguitar.com/gear-accessories/straps-other-accessories/18A0089.html It's leather, with a double sided plastic button so you slide it under the strings above the nut and button it closed. There is a second level of button which you can then attach your strap to, if the strap has a hole like the Gibson strap above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe M Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Twang Gang, just noticed that the TRC on your guitar has the word "Hummingbird" on it. Did it come this way from Gibson or did you add it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 8 different HBird model's on Gibson site. Edited May 19, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe M Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Mine is a HB Original, just not Antique-Natural. I guess only the those with that finish got the Hummingbird TRC. Oh, wait, the pic on the site with the Heritage Cherry finish, which mine has, also has the engraved TRC. There’s the anomaly. 😆 Edited May 19, 2021 by Joe M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, probably the same goofus that put the strap button on the flat part of the neck heel. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
