Would you install a strap button on the heal of the neck of your archtop?

I have a Tal Farlow that does have a lower bout strap button but not one on the upper side. I figure Gibson left the decision on where to put it lies with the owner :-)

I STILL don't know where to put it!

I agree that the side rim neck block is an excellent way for a typical archtop to hang without tilting forward, as happens with some of the other button locations (neck, heel, etc). So please people, for all the used guitars i have yet to purchase, consider installing the button on the SIDE RIM.
thanks

Take your time. Measure twice or three times, then mark with a pin. Then use a thin bradawl, then drill the pilot hole, and then screw in the button, with felt washer. Slow and careful.

I think Bill has the right idea. I did this 28 years ago (carefully!)to the D'Aquisto Elite in the picture, and I've had no problems yet:
