If you want to keep your guitar more than a few weeks, heres a tip.

If you've seen pictures of Bono from U2, Jon Bon Jovi, and others who carry their guitars inverted by their side, or at their back ( neck pointing to the ground) - DON'T DO IT!

You've probably noticed the strap comes off the bottom bolt of your guitar pretty easily. When hanging slightly upside down it can slip off and quickly leave you axe-less.

Yes, I know it looks cool, but a good way to crack your guitars neck.

Cheers!

That would be the obvious choice ... but most people buy strap locks after they've dropped their guitar once or twice ....lol

Another tip is when you are on a roll and into your guitar session don't forget where the headstock is - many a curse has been uttered due to the fact we haven't left enough room to swing it around :D
