Hooking Up a Guitar Strap

I wanted to talk to you about hooking up a guitar strap. If your guitar comes with the hardware already attached to it, than all you need to do is snap it on. If you're reading this article than I assume you don't have the hardware and don't know how to hook up. The reason that your guitar might not have the hardware is just the particular make. Some guitars are meant for people that sit when they play, so a strap isn't needed for it. Either way attaching a strap requires a little plan of attack, which I'm going to share with you.

The first thing you can do is just attach it with the Willie Nelson method. All you have to do is tie one end of the strap around the neck. You just have to get it above the bolt, so it doesn't slide around. Attaching the other end is a little more difficult, but what you do is make a loop with the end and attach a hook to it. This way you can attach the hook to the sound hole of the guitar. This is a little more unorthodox to do, but it gets the job done.

Another way is attaching the hardware to your guitar yourself. That means that you add the button holes to it and that requires a little bit of work. You'll need to drill holes and add in the button holes to the guitar. This might be a little scary, but it isn't that big of a deal.
