lespaul339 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I'm going to convert a room in my basement to a recording studio. I want to get some wall hangers to hang my guitars on. Which ones are safe with Gibson finishes? Are there any that Gibson recommend themselves? I don't want the wall hangers to cause any issues with the finish on my guitars. I've seen some people wrap them with cloth. Maybe that's the way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I use those Hercules hangers too, but I have not hung nitro guitars on them (yet). Good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I've got a Hercules wall hanger and a floor stand. Never had any problem with either. Have three other wall hangers - QuickLok https://www.quiklok.com/product/qf-410-acoustic-guitar-display-hanger/ - that my guitars reside on unless being played. No problem there either for over 7 years. I would think most problems reported were due to the nitrocellulose not being 'cured' or hardened - if the guitar is brand spanking new. Or, if someone cleaning house sprayed the guitar hanger with some foreign cleaning chemical. Consider, as you plan, another potential problem - Which wall you use. Hanging a guitar next to a cold, damp outer basement wall might do more damage than a stand. Even above ground, you should avoid exterior walls. We built a house once - and I went out to inspect the progress. The guy putting the insulation in the walls ran out with just 7 or 8 feet to go. They were already putting up the wall board. He had left completely uninsulated the entire area surrounding the whirlpool/spa type master bathtub! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 @fortyearspickn good point about outside walls. I was told to do this with my upright piano too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
