Where to put acoustic strap?

[cleancrunch nix]

When I bought an acoustic guitar I asked if the shop had a screw to attach the strap at the part where the body and neck meet. The shopkeeper said that was not recommended, and the best and safest way to strap an acoustic would be to sling the strap around the headstock, between the tuners and the nut. I've seen folk players do this, do you recommend it?

para hindi ka na magbubutas di ba?
malay mo hindi pala solid yung nabutasan mo, e di may bago kang soundhole

btw, yung "neck end" ba nung strap mo ay merong butas para sa strap button o meron lang pantali sa headstock? badtrip naman siguro kung itatali mo lang yung strap sa strap button diba?

Ahhh.. Naisip ko lang kase kung hindi masyadong masestress yung headstock dahil dun sa pag-sling.

Anyway, wala pa kase akong special strap para sa acoustic, naisip ko lang kung puwede na yung sa electric ko, hihi. Andami ko narin nakitang improvised straps ng acoustic, mostly dun nga sa headstock kinakabit. Yung ibang folkies nga sa Woodstock concert grabe lubid lang talaga ang strap!

tie the strap to the neck if a strap button isn't available on the model of your acoustic guitar
