I’ve seen pictures of the type of strap, and I’ve just been baffled as to how it’s supposed to go on the guitar and support it properly. Does anyone have a visual representation of how it works?

    It hooks to the bottom of the sound hole as you’re holding the guitar and the strap goes under the waist of the guitar on the treble side, then straight up around the back of the guitar and around your neck.

    Imagine a basketball ref with a whistle on a very long lanyard. He picks up the guitar into normal playing position, reaches down and pulls up in front, the lanyard that was hanging behind and down below the guitar and clips the whistle to the bottom of the sound hole. Replace the whistle with a little clip and there you go. Average Mike
