Got 'em and never had a problem. Take the strap over your head with your strumming hand instead of lifting the entire guitar over your head with your fretting hand,. :D

Considered it, never quite got around to installing a ceiling fan in the music room.

Kinda afraid of the rheostat in the fan and lights creating interference. Thoughts?

Along with flourescent lights anything with an electrical motor can cause unwanted noise in your signal .As for the safety factor,after playing for all my teenage years in a basement rec room with an extremely low ceiling I've become accustomed to taking of my guitar without hitting anything overhead.

Yes I have a fan and yes I have ran the headstock up in to it while attaching a strap LOL. I have also broken the light bulb cover on the overhead light with the headstock of my Jackson.......again while putting on a strap. Ah, showers of glass..........anyway, now I sit down and put on a strap :D

........but, youve opened a can of worms at the same time.
(and you thought you were gonna get off easy) since you
have that nice little tucked away studio, then we should be able to
hear more of your work then right? :P
not right away of course but in the future?? 8)

I once accidentally hit a moving ceiling fan with the headstock of my old acoustic guitar. I think it made a little mark, but I wasn't too upset since the guitar was a bit beat up to begin with. Certainly something you have to be mindful of if you've got a fan in your practice space!
