Notes_Norton Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've had my Gibson ES-330 hanging on the wall of my studio for about 18 years now. It hasn't harmed the guitar one bit, and it is always ready to play. On the wall it is much safer than on a stand, as I'm not likely to trip over it and knock it down. It is a wood paneled wall and it is mounted securely. I also have a MIJ Faux-JazzBass on the wall (can you spell heavy boys and girls) and it hasn't had any problems, either. This part of the house was built in 1950 and the walls are real wood paneling (not plywood with a veneer). I think Florida Cedar, planks not sheets, so I didn't have to find any studs.

Just Strum Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Certainly the best option...if you can hit studs on your layout design...thats always best! If you can't' date=' then incorporate 1x8 or whatever size you like) of wood strips running horizontal on the wall. Some don't like it, but it's another option.

Nic Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 You don't need a stud, drywall, with the right hardware can more than handle the weight. And $25 should buy a pretty good product. Take your hangar to Home Depot and get some help picking out the right hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderstruck507 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The ones I bought have been great, seem very sturdy and have been up for over a year without ever loosening or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Norm Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 It's now about five years those hooks are holding different guitars and never had a problem...but as you can notice, they are screw in wood.
