DIY guitar hangers.

[Swampy]

Anyone ever make any? I've seen some made with lawn, rake type hangers and neoprene/foam. A cost of $3-$4 a piece doesn't sound too bad.

Something like this.

I used those very same hooks in my basement where we practiced. Seemed to work great at first but after a while started to leave marks in the finish of one of my Les Pauls. I had no problems with other guitars like Fenders but I eventually replaced them with real guitar hangers.

I have five guitars on those Home Depot hangars in my basement. They work great as long as you don't have a nitro finished guitar.

Yeah, I've heard about the nitro finish problems. No nitro git's here....yet anyway.

maybe wrap the hangers for your nitro finish guitars in fabric tape?

I've always made my hangers using these. No problems with them.

I used to, but I found these:

At about 3 bux each it's hard to argue. I do build in an additional .50 for longer screws. Haven't tried my LP yet, but feels like the same nitro safe foam on the Hercules/fret rest hangers

Those look really interesting. Is the block plastic? If so, solid or hollowed out? Also, Are you able to bend the hooks up any?
$17 for 5 is hard to beat.
