back strap position on a v

Where do you have your strap on the upper wing?

 

Mine is placed on the outmost point on the wing, but it does not feel like the best place....

 

Where would you put the strap if you could choose freeley (which you can)?

Yeah I totally moved mine, it was so off-balance (headstock heavy). I've read lots from people who say, "Huh? Mine's balanced great." I moved it from the point to a spot about 2/3 of the way in toward the vertex. Works great now. I had a thread on this somewhere in here.

This is ghetto but I tied a string through the buttonhole on the strap and around the wing at the spot I wanted to move the button to. That let me 'test drive' that spot to feel for balance before I poked new holes in the guitar all willy nilly. Post pix when you're done!
