    Hanging your guitars by the neck will stretch your guitar and make's it longer..my Gibson les paul went from 24.75 scale to 25.5..it plays like a fender now

    Telecasters are the exception. I've seen many hanging in music shops over the years with a "do not touch" tag on them. Not because of their value but the risk of falling through the hanger.

    It's safe if your guitar hanger is mounted into wood and not just drywall.....Emily from getoffset filmed a review and her guitar wall hanger failed during the video and her guitar fell onto a rack of guitars below it....Paul Davids from Holland also did a review on this problem....I keep two guitars on the wall and the rest on floor stands or stored in cases.....I figure I never need more than two at hand at a time...I keep my environmentally friendly Martin HPL on the wall and my Epiphone Casino.....I wouldn't put my franken tele on the wall due to the thin headstock though...that goes on a floor stand. hope your guitar was ok....looks like you got a yellow bluesbreaker from G&L by the back of it...I like Hercules brand wall hangers because they use a triangular screw mounting bracket and the hardware is solid.

  • @davel_ggw
    @davel_ggw Před 2 lety +3

    Of course it is safe, as long as they don't fall. Seriously though, just make sure it is securely anchored into a stud, not just drywall or a lath in older homes and it should be fine.

    I hang mine on the wall. I bought a nice piece of figured 1x4x10 oak and mounted that to the studs, then mounted the hangers on the piece of oak. I know guys who hang on the faith of sheetrock anchors. Never do this on an exterior wall, moisture can get in your walls from snow or faulty gutter systems and you will wake up with your guitars on the ground. You're also going to be cleaning the pots and electronics more frequently if you have carpet in your music room because of dust.

    • @jamesburkjr2803
      @jamesburkjr2803 Před 2 lety

      Hey I have a question for you you seem pretty knowledgeable. Is it ok to lean them against the wall if not backwards. A buddy of mine told me that putting backwards will take the strain off of it then rather sitting front ways

    • @dingusfuzzklonnkt2755
      @dingusfuzzklonnkt2755 Před 2 lety

      @@jamesburkjr2803 sorry to just respond to this James. The guy who got me into playing back in the day placed his guitars backwards against the wall when they weren't in the case. His explanation was keeping light, dust, and dog hair from getting on the fretboard and into the electronics. I really don't know the answer to your question. I do know every guitar stand I've ever used was designed to place the guitar facing forward into the stand. If you have a stable neck with a modern dual trussrod I don't think it would matter either way. I have a 2006 epiphone silverburst that I kid you not has been hanging in the same position for atleast 10 years without being moved. I finally pulled it down not long ago for a thorough cleaning and the neck had not moved at all, the same .012 that was set originally. I think the environment the instrument resides in as well as the construction matters more than temporary pressure points. Honestly though, having guitars of any value stacked on the wall is terrifying. Glass case with bottom and neck cradles and a built in humidifier is the ultimate home. If you're handy you can build one that will hold six guitars for around $500.
