OK!! Here's the question!

What strap button do you use?
The top or the bottom?


For me it's the top one, I guess it just feels a little more comfortable with my Cobra!

I just had to ask! :D

Bottom. But both seem to work equally well on my Classic and my Cobra.

I guess I find the balance is slightly better using the bottom one.

bottom, balance is better on t shaped guitars.

Top one. I'm not sure why, but I just use the top one.

Before dinner: top.

After dinner: bottom.

Bottom button.
I had a teacher once who made me wear my guitar up high.

I use both buttons simultaneously - the TA straps work well for this.

I would certainly prefer if Tom would just put ONE strap button on his guitars. To me, neither the top or bottom button balances correctly when used by itself.

I think TA installs two buttons so you can sit the guitar on the floor and lean it against a wall, or amp. But, how many guys who pay the price for a TA guitar can't afford a decent stand?

i don't use a stand, it's just one more thing to carry. the bottom button will make the guitar feel more body heavy. we are happy to put only one button on a any guitar we build, you just have to ask.

we do lots of things we don't list. you just have to ask. the worst we can do is say no. well, we might laugh a little...but probably not.

I'm sure you guys were laughing really hard when I asked about putting a maple neck/fretboard on a cobra!

if it was a maple fingerboard on a mahogany neck we may have laughed a little. remember those awful les paul customs in the late seventies with maple fret boards? if it was a solid maple neck, we do hear that every once in a while. i made one for myself and it just didn't sound like a cobra.

I had asked for a solid maple neck but I think you guys said that you wouldn't do that for a cobra. That's good though-at least I know you guys didn't laugh too hard! Anyway-I'm glad you guys didn't make the solid maple neck for my guitar-I like rosewood fretboards much better.
