Re: Guitar hangers
That is a great deal. I have 5 of the wooden Dean Markley ones in my guitar/man room. May need to pick on up for my son though.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Pete, ever since I have been keeping a large bowl of water right near my heating intake (its on the floor level) I have not had an issue in my guitar room. If the room is dry, the water evaporates to it. I do not have to worry about a humidifier getting mist all over my stuff either.

Re: Guitar hangers
What I like about this idea is the hanger all came with the screws and a plastic expander for the screw which makes it easy to hang in plaster which is what is behind the thin paneling on my walls

Re: Guitar hangers
those are nice but I would be afraid of using them in the shakey state of california. I have seen earthquakes out here that move cars and trucks and knock all your dishes out of the cubords.

Re: Guitar hangers
On that shaky state point - beware of {my} shaky DIY. After a year of happy hanging, I rotated my display of hanging guitars, and a week later my lovely Epi Sheraton decided to make a vertical trip to the floor, leaving the hanger at an unsightly 45 degree angle. Yes - I now buy matching screw and plug sets! I guess Pete Townsend is vindicated - a strait down blow hardly dented the poor thing. Scared the daylights out of me tho! Gentlemen, you may now laugh at my independent lady DIY attempts.

I'll have to check this out. My intake is on the ceiling however.

Then sit a large bowl of water in a corner. if the room is dry, it will get H2O from the easiest place to find it. an open bowl is much better tahn sucking it out of wood.

Re: Guitar hangers
I guess that makes the (almost) constant rain here in Wales a god send, as I dont have to worry about my boys drying out or falling off the wall for that matter, even though I dont have any space on my walls at the moment, nice display of hangers though Russ

Re: Guitar hangers
yeah man, they look cool!
weather wise, it's actually been one of our hottest for many years, ir at least it was for a couple of weeks, then it cooled off a bit and we had some rain. most of it fell in one lump...wooosh! it's still quite warm though, or it could be me getting old and sweaty. i dont suppose anybody wanted to know that?
so what it boils down to is; even when it's dry here, it's damp.

Re: Guitar hangers
Last Friday evening, a cord caught around the leg of one of my guitar stands, sending my Larrivee towards the hardwood floor. Some old hockey goaltending reflexes came back, and I caught it on my instep just before it hit the floor ... whew! Anyway, that highly motivated me to head down to the local Long & McQuade's and pick up wall hangers, and they're now solidly mounted. My Stanley stud-finder helped me find solid wood to fasten them to, so no anchors were needed. A close call with a good ending!
Thanks for a very timely post, Russell!
