Guitar wall hangers

lincolnblue

I'm after a couple of guitar wall hangers. I'm tempted by Hercules ones but can anyone recommend any good alternatives. Don't want to spend more than about £12 per hanger

This.

I've got a good few of the Hercules ones I could sell you for cheap, just need to work out what the postage would be but won't be home tonight.

Not sure why people would scrimp on buying a wall hanger. £12 vs £8 on a guitar that I'm assuming is >£500 seems daft.

Just this afternoon I've mounted four of my guitars on my wall using the string swinger type- about £24 per pair seemed super reasonable and they're reviewed super well. A doddle to put up onto my plasterboard wall too.

Have you got a link the them?

I bought these ones. Just within your budget actually- the cheaper ones all seem to have some negatives and these look much higher quality.

Bang on and fautless. Rock solid.

K&M 16280 for me - I have 6 in my mancave, rock solid and won't damage nitro-finish Gibsons.

What is the wall made of?  If it's masonry (brick or block) you'll be fine with rawlplugs and woodscrews, but you'll have to take more care if it's plasterboard.

The wall is plasterboard but I have decent Rawl plugs

100% agree - I hang 5K or 10K guitars of mine and they won't mark - I've seen other hangers mark the finish - So go with Hercules - end off - Just make sure appropriate fittings etc based on what they are mounted to

I use these as well. I can't fault them.

hercules for me too.  I have my Martin, PRS CU22, Suhr Modern, Select Strat and Tom Anderson all on those.  No issue at all.

Anyone who has the Hercules ones with the wood - any suggestions of what kind of packaging I could send some in?

Reckon a bubble envelope would be okay or better in a box?

I’ve been using the String Swing wooden block ones for 15+ years and never had a problem. They’re supposed to be nitro-friendly but I don’t take any chances and put a cotton sleeve over each of the prongs.

I have some guitars on wall hangers... normally my less exspensive ones.  I am always a bit wary on what a wall hanger can do to a guitar?  If you go by the saying that you should never treat a guitar in any way that you would treat yourself... i.e. would you hang yourself by the neck to a wall?  Anyone ever heard of a guitar/neck being damaged by hanging its dead weight by the neck?
