Hercules GSP38WB Wall Mountable Guitar Hanger - Wood Base

Product Information

Other than stowing your guitar safely away in a case, there are two main types of guitar storage solutions. A guitar stand sits on the floor, upon which your guitar will safely sit, with some support to ensure it doesn’t topple over. Stands take up more room than a guitar hanger, but they make switching instruments nice and easy. A guitar hanger on the other hand will be mounted onto your wall – so may not suit DIY-phobes – which means it takes up less room, however, it won’t be quite as instantly accessible as a guitar stand. While this may also seem like another very basic design, Top Stage added two discs on the hanger will prevent your instrument from slipping down (and potentially falling) if your guitar is bumped into. However, if you are possessive about your instrument, Hercules still has a wall hanger for every guitar type. Dimensions

The best way to mount a guitar hanger on a concrete wall is by drilling a hole through it. You can then insert an expansion bolt to help secure the screw of the mount.Space is another issue when using a guitar stand or display cabinet. These solutions require a substantial amount of floor space. A single-guitar stand can require a floor area of 10 inches by 8 inches. It is not that much, I know. Unfortunately, you will have to widen the stance of the stand if you want it to be more stable. There are also stands that accommodate up to 8 different guitars at a time. These are stands that take up space.
