Tip of the Week: Strap Buttons: Most guitars come with an end pin for a strap at the base of the body. The other end of the strap is commonly tied under the strings on the headstock. But, you can also have a button installed on the neck. This button can help reduce stress on the neck joint, and can also make playing a little easier for some. Elevate!
