    The knob on the bottom of my guitar is where I plug it into the amp. My strap won't fit, as it's too short! Any suggestions?

    I think that's just the amp plug and not the strap holder. There's not usually one knob for both of these functions. It sounds like your guitar doesn't have a knob to hold the strap. Take it to a guitar/music shop and see if they can install one for you.

    It will probably last about a few weeks to 2 months, depending on how tight you tie it and the type of yarn.

    You might have to buy some. They are called guitar strap pins and are available at music stores.

    Along with the divet at the base of the Ibanez ic200c, there should be another strap button on the back of the guitar where the body meets the neck.
