Or... you can install (or have someone install) a strap button near the neck. It is a very common thing to do and many guitars come with them already. My Ovation has one already.


There is lots of debate on the best location, but for the most part... as shown in the above picture is probably the best. Note... it is on the bottom side of the neck (when holding it)... don't install it on the top. Make sure it is in solid wood (don't just try to screw it into the body of the guitar). If in doubt, have a local guitar repair tech do it for you.]]> Guitar Players Discussion lue42 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-332615 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-332613 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:47:55 +0000 http://www.oklahomavintageguitar.com/crmlbumoinac.html]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-332613 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-332608 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:03:43 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-332608 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-332604 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:50:57 +0000 what make/model is it?

yes the hole is also for your 1/4" cable to your amp]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-332604 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-36450 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:31:53 +0000
I'm a complete noob when it comes to guitars, but more so the new acoustic I just bought. I disassembled the electric thing on the side (tuner and phaser stuff) before realising that the battery could be changed by just pressing the blank plate under the knobs and stuff. DOH! :lol: Anyhow, I put the new battery in and found that the tuner works fine. But I'm not even sure what this thing is. Is it a preamp or pickup? I bought a strap for the guitar but theres only one metal strap thing on the bottom and nothing on the neck.

What I'm assuming is a strap thing actually has a hole through the centre that may be for the cable to an amp, does this sound right?
What strap should I use and how should I attach it?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/plugging-in-an-acoustic/#post-36450
