Stupid ?

    I just recently bought an acoustic guitar and I didn't notice that it only has one end pin @ the bottom so I can't attach a guitar strap so I was wondering if you could buy another pin and put in the other spot where one should go. If so how would i go about doing so?If not, what should I do besides just holding in my lap when I play?

    I'll take it you mean Strap Button?

    Anyway, with acoustics, you generally tie the other end of the strap around the headstock, like so:

    I imagine it's only supposed to have one strap button.

    Just get a shoe lace, tie it around the neck like in the picture and thread is through one end of your strap. Use the pin for the other end :)

    u can get em installed on the underside of the neck wheere it joins onto the body. u have to dip the screw in oil tho so when u screw it in it softens the wood otherwise it'll crack straight away! its doable but if u dont have any faithin urself to do it u can get someone else to do it!
