The makers of acoustic Guitars have somehow decided that acoustic players always play sitting down, so they don't always give you the second pin for the strap. You can get a pin at a music store, and if you don't know guitars you'd better let them install it. The second option, probably the better idea at this point of your career, is to tie of the strap at the headstock either just above the nut, or between the tuners, beside that you put one of the holes on the strap on the pin at the back of the guitar. Then again you can play sitting down, which some find much more comfortable.

If you are talking about an acoustic, then the back of the strap will go at the very bottom of the guitar,( looking at the body at the bottom ), and the top will go at the other end of the body on the opposite side to the fretboard.

However if we are talking about an eletric guitar ( assuming a standard super strat or regular shape ), you will put the bottom end in the same place but the top end at the end of the spikey protruding bit on the left of your guitar (looking at it standing up).

Can a guitar strap fit on an ukulele?

It is possible to fit the guitar strap to it if it has a strap peg. The strap may or may not be too long, however. If your guitar or ukelale does not have a top strap peg, like me, then you can tie a long string or strap behind the strings, above the nut. I reccomend using a wider strap to prevent it from cutting into your shoulder.


Is a there a special guitar strap that you must use for a Washburn guitar?

How do you put guitar straps on?

there should be two small buttons or "knobs" on your guitar. One on the body of the guitar near the neck and one at the bottom of the body. On the guitar strap you should find a small slits in the leather on each end where you push the button on your guitar through, much like a button on your shirt. If you do not already have two buttons on your guitar, you can bring it into a musical instrument shop and they'll install one on your guitar for a small price.
