You may want to drill less than ⅓ depth on less dense timbers such as
Mahogany and Basswood.

Installing strap buttons

Strap buttons not only support your guitar when playing standing up, the placement of the
strap buttons also affects the balance of the guitar.

On an SG guitar, the rear strap button is located in the center of the lower bout. The front
strap button is either inserted into the top horn on a downward facing angle, or installed on
the back of the neck heel, which is what we have done in the example above.

Follow the method described above for all hardware installation including using painters
marking tape for marking the location of pilot holes, and drilling to the correct size.
