GUITAR -- A musical instrument having a large flat-backed sound box, a long fretted neck, and usually six strings, played by strumming or plucking.

STRAP -- A long narrow strip of pliant material such as leather.

GUITAR STRAP -- A guitar strap is an accessory worn over one shoulder for hanging a guitar over the body while playing. It consists of a long band made of leather and metal hardware. It is available in different adjustable lengths . A guitar strap allows you to stand up and move around freely while playing your instrument.

There are two basic ways to put a guitar strap on an electric guitar. The first and easiest way to attach a guitar strap is to simply use the strap buttons that come standard on all electric guitars. The second method involves purchasing and installing strap locks. A strap lock is a device that prevents the guitar strap from coming detached from the strap buttons.

HOW TO PUT ON A GUITAR STRAP
Step 1: Find the knob on the bottom of the body of your guitar.
Step 2: Slip the buttonhole on one end of your guitar strap over the knob until it is securely attached.
Step 3 Locate the knob on the neck of the guitar, which will be on the top of the guitar body at the base of the neck. If your guitar has no knob here, you will have to tie the end of the strap onto the neck of the guitar under the strings, above the nut and below the heads so that it does not touch the strings, and tie it securely.
Step 4: Attach the other end of the guitar strap over the knob on the neck of the guitar until it is secure. If the other end of the strap has strings tied to the buttonhole, take them off first. If it has only strings and no buttonhole on the end, tie the strings around the neck of the guitar as explained in the Step 3.

Tie a shoelace or strip of rawhide to the buttonhole if your strap has a buttonhole and no cord, and then tie it onto your guitar if it does not have a knob at the base of the neck.

If you guitar does not have any knobs (which is rare but can happen), you can purchase knobs at a guitar store. To attach them, drill a small hole in the guitar and screw them in. Make sure that the hole you are drilling is smaller than the screw on the knob.

When putting a guitar strap on to an acoustic guitar, a string attaches underneath the frets and above the neck of the guitar, and the other end attaches on a button on the bottom of the guitar.
