"So now we're going to check the function of our strap holder. The best way to do that is to stand up, put the guitar on, put some weight on it, see what it's like to actually play the guitar. Now we haven't restrung this guitar yet, so we can't actually play it, but we can at least simulate the effects of what it's going to be like. So I'm going to put it on, and make sure that the strap holders I put on are strong enough for the guitar while I'm still thinking about holding the guitar up, just in case it falls. Because the last thing I want to do is find out that they're failing me while I'm playing it, and it falls on the tile floor, because then all of this is going to be for naught. So, I'm going to stand up here, put the guitar on. This is the best piece of jewelry I've ever worn. I love wearing a guitar. Makes me look good. So here, I'm going to give it some pressure. I'm going to push down, twist it around a little bit, make sure that this is in place, and it is. We're ready to go."
