Tip 8 – Strap buttons can be purchased for under $2.00 and it is a easy job to add one to the back of the guitar (Most nylon string and acoustic guitars come with only one strap button when purchased). Some guitarists use one strap button and tie the strap to the area behind the nut; this method will get in the way of the left hand playing the guitar. The best area to add a button is centered on the back of the guitar one half inch in from where the neck joins the guitar. If you are not good with tools, a guitar technician can add one very inexpensively, or you could ask the music dealer to include a button and installation as part of your purchase deal.
