Seagull Entourage Strap Button Installation? Jul 12, 2021 0:44:15 GMT -5

I've been wanting to install a strap button on the heel of my Seagull Entourage Mini Jumbo Rustic since it only has a button on the bottom of the body and I would rather not have to tie my strap to the headstock. Has anyone had any experience with installing strap buttons on a Seagull?

Thanks for the replies

Tony goes into detail here.
Guitar brand doesn't really matter, it all works about the same.

I have installed a couple, I'm pretty sure I had to install one on my Seagull M6.

If one doesn't have a drill, that's what friends and neighbors are for.

I did mine with a pin vice. yet on my seagull I put mine on the upper bout. Added a wood block inside for support. I know on seagulls with the bolts in the neck you have to be careful to get between them.
