So I have an acoustic guitar with only one peg/nut thing for the guitar strap. I have a guitar strap with two holes and one string. How/where do you tie the string. Please give a BUNCH of details and pics if you have any!!!!

Answer
I recommend installing a strap button on your guitar. I know a lot of people tie their straps to the headstock but it's not a really good idea. Mostly because the guitar will have a tendency to slide around on you and it's just really uncomfortable. You can get a strap button at your local music shop for just 2 or 3 bucks. If your good with simple tools they're not too hard to install. Some music shops will even do it for you if you ask.

How many inches is an acoustic guitar strap supposed to have?

guitar straps acoustic image

Q. I ordered one from ebay and the max. length that I can adjust to is 57 inches. It's too small! I only have one lock button which is at the bottom of the guitar and I was going to tie the other end of that guitar strap near the tuning pegs. When I tried putting it on, it was too small. I'm searching on ebay for more straps but I can't find any that's over 57 inches long.

Answer
Take the guitar to your local music store and have them install a strap button at the heel of the neck. While you are there you can check out their selection of straps. Your standard guitar strap is adjustable, although the lengths will vary from 52 inches to 63 inches. Having a strap button at the heel of the neck will make it easier for you to adjust the strap to a comfortable length.
The strap button itself is a bout $1 The store might charge you a few bucks to put it on.

Is it ideal to use a Rockband guitar strap with an acoustic guitar?

Annie

Okay, I have an acoustic guitar, and I just bought the extra button to put around the nut to attach a strap. Now, can I use a guitar strap from a Rockband guitar? I mean, I know of course you CAN, but would it be the right length? How long show a guitar strap be for an acoustic guitar and how low should it hang when you stand up?

Answer
First of all, the extra strap button goes on the heel of the neck on the treble side, not on the nut. Use a real guitar strap, not one from Rock Band, since an acoustic guitar weighs a lot more than a piece of plastic. Basic straps are as cheap as z$5 or $6 at a good music store.
