Headless Guitar Wall Hangers

[ehdwuld]

Is there a wall hanger for headless guitars?

I saw one fellow o YT put one in upside down

I saw one guy use two. One on the neck and one underneath the body

I saw one guy put some plastic sleeves on his

One guy said to use your strap over the hook but that looks like a great way to break a guitar

Anyone got any ideas

My Strandberg is on a String Swing Horizontal Guitar Wall Mount and it's fine with a couple caveats. First, there are two contact points on the body, and I always make sure the guitar is cradled in such a way that middle contact point (assuming the 3rd point is the neck support) has enough weight on it to maintain enough friction to prevent the guitar from rotating forward. I'd like to think the arms are long enough to prevent it from falling if it rotated forward, but I'd rather not test that. Second, the assembly rotates about a single bolt at the wall anchor so you can display at any angle, which needs to be sufficiently tight to keep the entire assembly from rotating once a guitar is cradled. I put some Loctite on mine just to make sure it doesn't go anywhere.

I saw those
they seem to take up alot of real estate on a wall

There aren't good options here. The best I've seen are ones that hold it more or less horizontal with 2 contact points. Honestly, they weren't designed with display in mind.

You're beat man. . . I really don't think there is any good option.

I would join some of the headless groups on social media (and maybe contact Headless USA) and see if anyone has come up with a good solution.

Just put a big hook on the wall (you can get them at home depot), then hang it by the strap.

there was a guy on YouTube that suggested something like that with a normal wall hanger

Assuming you want to "hang" it vertically, if it were me, I'd look at getting a wall hanger that closes around the neck, something like the Hercules ones maybe... something that would support the neck and prevent it from falling forward, combined with two rubber bungs screwed to the wall.

Use the bungs to support the body and support the neck with the guitar hanger close to where it meets the body.

Depending on the body shape, I might use more than two bungs to hold the body safely in place.

Got full metal and hang your guitar inverted on 2 bout hooks

This idea might be the best. It isn't as easy to just 'throw it up on the wall' or quickly grab it, but it displays nicely without taking up room that a horizontal solution would use.

I've seen that and the horizontal hangers, neither looked very safe.

Is hanging molded display cases with glass fronts a thing?

Looks like it would just be drilling holes for a rectangle and putting it in. Only downside would be how far it would protrude from the wall.

If it's not, it should be.

one video said use a tongue depresser under the strings at the nut
to create a "T" that would catch the fork of a wall hanger

does this have down sides other than pressure on the nut?

I wouldn't do that to my headless. Having the weight of the body push the nut up like that can't be good.

I never thought about the topic of this post. +1 more reason for me to not go headless.

Even as relatively light as my Strandberg is, there's no way I would use that method.

Strandberg makes a wall mount that cradles the bottom with a clamp that secures the top of the body. It's pricy, not the most attractive thing, and probably doesn't facilitate quickly taking the guitar on and off the wall, but it looks to be one of the most secure ways to wall mount a headless.

So he should definitely keep his strap-on? huhuh huhuh
