I want all to weigh in...
Should I put a strap button on my Martin DM?
I recently got this guitar, and don't want to ruin it, or ruin the resale value, blah blah blah... but I can't stand tying the strap to the neck. It make it sit wrong, and it ain't comfortable at all.
What's the verdict?

if u get it done by a martin licensed repairperson you should be fine. Just ask the nearest place to you who sells them if they are licensed to repair Martins.

Let me know what you think of your D-35. I just got one myself. Have you done anything to it?

You're a Doctor, take it to the local Luthier. It'll be relatively cheap.

I'm still in residency, so that's a good thing.

it's fine if you do it right, and won't affect the sound. do it wrong, though, and you could screw your guitar up. Just make sure who's doing it knows what they are doing, and has experience in this.
