how to attach guitar strap?

i jsut got a lyon/washburn guitar yesterday and it cam with a strap. i know how to attach it to the bottom but i do not know how to attach to top. it has strings and i am afraid if i put it on wrong it will mess up the sound of the strings by rubbing against the? can anyone help me?

Tie the string (it usually looks like a shoelace) to the strap first, and then slide the strings underneath the strings, just above the neck nut, between it and the peg box. Tie the string underneath the neck if you can, to keep the excess out of the way when you are trying to play. Some people even put the string through the neck first and tie it off at the strap, but that never worked out for me. The other option is to get a second end button attached tot he Guitar around the heel (where the neck attaches to the body of the guitar) The heel is usually formidable enough to suffer a small hole from a jeweler’s drill, and the advantage is that the strap is much easier to remove when you put the guitar in the case. If you are worrying about the strap coming off while you are wearing it, they sell a locking end button that releases with a catch. If you get one installed, I would recommend using a luthier and getting them both replaced. The peace of mind you feel from then on is more than worth the cost. If you want to do it yourself, you can get the parts from Stewart MacDonald, http://www.stewmac.com but be very careful where you drill the hole and never try to force the screw in without drilling one. It can often split the wood. Hope this helps.
