ok so i have a yamaha acoustic guitar and i really want to put my tray on it but there is no like, idont know what they are called...strap holders? (the little things that you put the hole on that start around to keep it on) so what im wondering is-is there any way to put them on/have them put on and how much will it cost?
MFS answered Sunday October 30 2005, 11:19 pm: Those little metal things seem to go by a plethora of names. Attaching them to an acoustic is not something I'd toy around with - doing it wrong could easily destroy the guitar. Acoustics can be very tempermental and/or fragile instruments when it comes to drilling into them. Solid-body electrics are by far more forgiving.
Keep in mind that there isn't always a way to attach those knobs. However, you can get a strap and use a shoe string to tie one end to the headstock, and rig a sling to rest the butt of the guitar in, which would work. I believe they make straps with a sling on them, particularly for classical guitars, since classicals are made to be played sitting down.
The knobs themselves are very cheap. I picked up a spare set for $5. To have a guitar tech or luthier install them would probably not cost too much and they could do it quickly. No more than $20 (in my estimate) to install them (that would include the price to buy them, too). [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
