Although a guitar player doesn't need a strap to play while
sitting, it is necessary when playing while standing up, as in during a show.
Many guitars have two strap buttons installed---one for each end of the
strap---but Seagull
S6 Entourage Review have only the strap button, called the end pin, at
the base, and none at the heel. There are two ways to install a strap: by tying
one to the guitar's neck or by installing a strap button to the guitar's
heel--which is a process that requires caution, so you don't damage your
guitar.
1. Slip a strong string (like a shoelace or leather tie)
through one of the guitar strap's button holes (if there are no strings already
strung through).
2. Tie the string to the guitar's headstock with a strong
knot, under the strings and between the nut and the first set of tuners.
3. Test your knot with a tug.
4. Attach the other end of the strap to the end pin at the
guitar's base, making sure the rounded part of the strap buckle is on the
outside of the strap, facing the correct way.
5. With a marker, pen or pencil, mark the side or bottom of
the heel, halfway between the back of the guitar and the neck, where the button
or final strap placement won't interfere with your playing.
6. Carefully drill straight into the heel.
7. Carefully screw the strap button into the heel.
8. Attach the strap to the guitar's base, making sure the
strap button comes all the way through the button hole so the strap won't slip
off.
9. Attach the strap to guitar's heel, again making sure the
strap button comes all the way through the strap's button hole so the strap
won't slip off.
