I did it and it worked out fine. I found a lot of helpful info here:

Admittedly, I was sloppy in the process. I tried several attempts to relocate the lower strap button before I found the best spot, so I have a couple of additional drill holes in mine. I also use an acoustic guitar strap with laces that tie around the headstock just above the nut rather than use the strap button located at the heel of the neck. I found this offers the best overall balance for me.

I bought mine from LargeSound already converted- very nice piece of work, and not expensive.
