Perfectly legitimate question. For my Yamaha acoustic, I started with
the type of strap that ties onto the neck, but I didn't really like the
way that felt. So I bought a strap button -

(like the ones listed at
http://www.elderly.com/accessories/A...tar_Parts.html
and

-

and installed it onto (i.e., screwed it into) the heel of my guitar.
"Heel" being the part shown here:

The best location for the strap button will probably vary for different
makes and models of guitar.

Probably best to get a professional to do it, unless you're the
handy-with-a-drill type. A Google search will reveal a fair number of
"do it yourself" pages on installing strap buttons, which are
informative even if you prefer to get the guitar shop to do it for you.
