    Default ES 335 Flush mount Dunlop strap locks

    Howdy.

    Just got a new Memphis block 335. I'm picking over options for strap locks. I have a trusty set of Dunlop flush mount ones wich I'm going to rip off another axe, but I'm wondering - if I drill into the 335's neck join, am I going to experience some loss in sound quality?

    I guess I'm looking for locks that are permanent, stable and flush. I have a set of Dunlops on a Tele and I love 'em. I don't mind the thought of drilling into the 335. It's going nowhere. But if I don't have to . . . then I won't.
    But I'm not into those plastic things unless anyone has heard of smaller ones.

    I looked at a photo of Jimmy Page from the 70's the other day - and I haven't been able to find it again - but it looks like he has some sort of flush thing going on, the size of a one cent piece. Any ideas?
