Something I've done before with success is to lay the guitar on a bed, grab the front strap pin with one hand, and using your thumb and first two fingers of the other hand grab the bottom of the guitar ai a point a little to the bass side of the point where the rear pin is now. Pick the whole thing up that way and see how it balances. If need be keep trying points further toward the bass side until you get one that balances right. Put your strap pin there. Use strap locks. As has been said, the rear pin doesn't have to go in the middle.... :icon_thumright:
