@RiverRooo Tuning pegs don’t weigh that much and don’t add to the weight of holding the guitar up. Whether you attach t othe nut or the body is a personal preference. Most prefer the body of the guitar. I think what you’re referring to as neck dive simply happens when you let go of the neck. It is the guitars natural tendancy to have the neck drop straight down and out of the way. A strap will keep the guitar from dropping to the groud. I walk around with my guitar hanging down all the time. It is safer for it to be perpendicular (straight up and down) when walking around with it. It won’t bang into everything.
Having a strap on should not prevent you from being able to look over at the strings. I would try to keep the guitar as parallel or horizontal (side to side) to the floor as possible, but it is expected of newcomers to angle the guitar “slightly” back in order to see the strings, but try to keep it as upright as possible for proper finger placement on the strings. In fact, most of us do this. If necessary, loosen the strap a little to give yourself some slack.
