Guitar Straps

The lower strap button is usually located at the bottom of the body. The upper strap button is usually located near or at the top of the body, on the upper body curve, at the tip of the upper horn (on a double cutaway), or at the neck joint (heel). Some electrics, especially those with odd-shaped bodies, have one strap button on the back of the body.

Some acoustic and classical guitars only have a single strap button at the bottom of the body—the other end must be tied onto the headstock, above the nut and below the machine heads.

Other acoustic and classical guitars come with no strap buttons at all. In this case, one or two strap buttons can usually be added to the guitar, or a classical guitar strap (also called a "guitar harness" or "neck strap") can be used, which supports the guitar by hooking into the sound hole.
