Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Tie it to the headstock!.

Classical guitarists always play sitting down and don't use neckstraps!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is it an acoustic!? Well, it doesn't matter!. I have an acoustic that also only has one peg and you get a guitar strap and get a string or something and tie it into the other hole and then tie the string around the neck up by the tuning keys!. There you go, problem solved! also, many straps already come with a string, but it doesn't matter either way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've watched several famous guitarists do this, take the open end of the strap and either tie it to the headstock or put it on the machine head on the other side of the headstock (assuming that this is a three on each side guitar)!. If this isn't comfortable than don't worry, get a stool and sit on it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

While classical guitarists usually play sitting down, there is a strap made specifically for classical guitars!. It loops around your head, goes underneath the guitar and attaches to the bottom of the sound hole (see link)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

usually people tie the other end of the strap at the end of the neck, but when you play a classical guitar you always sit down and play it between your legs!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Either will work, but depending on the age and value of the guitar, I might be reluctant to drill into the body and alter the originality!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

On classical guitars you tie the other end of the strap to the machine head, before the first fret!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
