Gator Frameworks Guitar Wall Mount Hanger Fits Most Guitars, Acoustic, Electric, or Bass, with Black Mounting Plate (GFW-GTR-HNGRBLK)

The media could not be loaded. Very light, very sturdy, easy to put on the wall. If you have a drill and you have put up curtains or anything of that sort, you will have no trouble with this. Will handle guitars, ukulele, or bass. Definitely recommend!

Small, simple, strong, easy to install and to use, no visible screws or mounting hardware. Everything I was looking for. and more, for less than 11 bucks apiece. My guitars are finally off floor stands and my keyboard nicely fills the space they used to occupy. The whole room feels bigger and is much less cluttered.I found a spacing of 16" on-center between hangers to be just right for my install. That ends up being a tad over 14" of wall space from the edge of one hanger to the edge of the next . The guitars hang close together, but not too close. 16" on-center just happens to ideal for mounting to studs which are often 16" on-center apart. But I didn't feel any desire or need to be constrained by the studs. The included wall anchors were a breeze to install into drywall and are plenty strong enough to hold a Strat or Takamine acoustic, which is what I have, and they are pretty average weight instruments.I looked at a lot of hangers before choosing these. Most others have visible mounting screws and I generally prefer hidden hardware. I was really put off by the looks of many of the other products which not only have visible screws, but the screws are almost universally black even with white or wood colored hangers. The Gators are very clean looking and don't trade off anything for the sleek appearance. They are just designed better, IMO.

These Gator Frameworks guitar wall hangers are everything the company claims. I currently have three guitars securely suspended on my wall by these. I particularly like that the attractive wooden covers hide the mounting hardware. They're very unobtrusive.A couple of caveats:First, carefully follow the instructions, take your time, and use the recommended tools including a level to properly align the screws for the mounting plate.Second, be very careful with the thin wooden covers. They're easily broken along the edges. I had a small piece crack off along the edge of one cover. Fortunately, I was able to glue it back into place and then attach the cover so that the crack is at the top of the hanger where it isn't visible.I'd recommend mounting the hangers to wall studs to ensure that your valuable guitar never falls, but if you intend to mount several guitars side-by-side, as I did, keep in mind that two or more guitar bodies will not fit side-by-side on sixteen-inch centers—the width between most wall studs. Instead, it's necessary to stagger the guitars in up and down the wall, as shown in my photo. Use a stud finder to accurately locate the wall studs. A 10-dollar stud finder will keep you from having to drill any more holes than absolutely necessary.I've used other guitar hangers that worked equally well, but these are the most attractive hangers that I've owned.

Good, solid piece of equipment. Easy to install and provides a sturdy wall hanger for your guitar. This hanger easily accommodates my dreadnaught guitar with standard nut, and my parlor guitar with a 1 7/8 inch nut.If not for my one criticism, noted below, this product would get five stars.NOTE: This particular wall mount does not comfortably accommodate a classical guitar with a two-inch nut. You have to wedge the guitar in the hanger in order for it to work which creates a little of a hassle putting it in and getting it out. I am going to try to shave off a little of the cushioning on the inside of the hanger arms to see if I can get another 1/16 of an inch space. That should be enough.Follow Up Comment: You can remove the rubber cushioning from the arms of the hanger. You will now have enough room to hang your classical guitar sans cushioning.Follow Up Comment: Just discovered that if you use the screw-in, dry wall anchors that are provided with the kit, they will pull out of the wall very quickly. In my case, I hang one guitar while I play another. The next day, I trade off and switch places with the guitars. After three days of this, the wall anchors failed.If you are going to be taking your guitar in and out of the hangers, I suggest you use the steel 'wing' type of wall anchor, molly, or toggle and not even waste your time with the plastic, screw-in wall anchors.

Looks great on the wall. Easy to install, holds the guitar in place very well and is sturdy.

Seriously- I don't know why they sell something like this that mounts into drywall. My toilet paper holder doesn't even stay in drywall. After 8-9 years, the thing fails. And that's toilet paper. So they should know better. And also, YOU should know better.If you want to mount something for display ONLY that maybe is 5lbs... ok maybe you can get away with mounting this into drywall. Don't put your $2000 Les Paul on a hanger supported by drywall. You are just asking for trouble.You'll need a long screw and you'll need to find a stud. Then I put a cloth sleeve on the foam to protect my nitro finish. Not sure if the foam will cause a problem or not, but I could not find a reliable answer on the interwebs, I know that nitro formulas have changed over the years, and there's a few different ways to make a rubberized foam as well. So why risk it with an expensive instrument? Mount into a stud, and protect your nitro. Easy pea-sy.

Do Not use the dry wall screws included with this hanger., they will fail 100%...in fact don't hand a guitar in drywall at all. Mine busted out of the wall after hanging securely for 2 years and destroyed a $2K guitar. It looked great hanging on the wall but it's just not worth the risk. Just put your guitar in a floor stand if you care about it, or you better secure this mount to a stud and hope for the best.

It was a gift for my husband.He used to lay his guitar down on the floor.He loves his guitar displayed on the wall now!!
