Get an attachment to attach the strap to the headstock, or install another strap pin.

Pick up a strap button at any guitar shop and install it on the neck heel. Look at where thay are installed on any Taylor or Martin.

check the web for this thing that attaches to the strap and fits around the neck and clamps to the sound hole of your acoustic.

if you dont want to put a hole in your guitar

Shocked Only attempt this if you know what you're doing! Otherwise, take it to an experienced luthier, as the correct attachment points differ from guitar to guitar and you can easily ruin a guitar by putting it in the wrong place.
