Me, too. Always screwed to a stud with nice long screws.

Hercules hangers all the way! Screwed into the studs and they're nitro safe. Plus they actually hold Tele headstocks properly and not resting on the low E tuning peg.

I drilled some directly into the studs. i thought it would be stronger that way. I need some little covers to clean them up but really i don't give a **** its my jam room.

I too use the hercules wall hangers. They've been working great for like 10 years, doesn't mess with nitro finishes, even moved recently to a new place and reused them a few times trying to figure out the setup I wanted. So far they never failed me and they hold the guitars very securely.
My "Vintage" wall, just missing the 70s VM Jazz bass i lent to a friend:
My "Modern" wall, loaded with OFR super Strats:
Pardon the crappy phone pics, I haven't taken the time yet to take proper pictures of my new setup.

Re: Show me your guitar hangers!
By the way, I didn't bother with the studs because they are rarely placed where i want to put the hangers at. I use these type of anchors and they work great, much better than the "standard" ones you usually see included with the hangers. I tested the crap out of these before i dared to hang my Les Paul on it. These are usually rated 50lb per anchor, seen some that do 75lb too, but unless i get a guitar that weighs 100lb these hangers aren't going anywhere lol

I just use some cheap ones I got on Amazon and they're plenty strong enough. Two years now without a single failure.
I have, however, had three-year-old grandson problems with guitars dropping... but I don't consider that to be the hanger's fault.

I use a couple of the Hercules triple-screw metals for the guitars I have out at any given moment. I keep all the others cased.
Mine a screwed into my music-room's closet door-frame,,,,,,,,,,super-sturdy like that as it's an old country house with real wood lol.
The door was removed years ago.

Re: Show me your guitar hangers!
I have seen that
Some other member posted where he had a one by four on the wall
with the hangers mounted to that
He may not have responded here
My brother cut in a one by four behind the drywall on his house
About five foot up on all the bedroom walls
So his wife could hang pictures any where she wanted

Re: Show me your guitar hangers!
Believe it or don't, I thought about doing the "2x6-to-the-studs" thing some years ago. Even mocked it up somewhat:
But I skimped and just went with wall-hangers au natural. String Swing I think is what I use. Can't recall now.
I used the original screws and the plastic inserts since I hung them on mobile-home drywall and the studs weren't all that studly.

I use the Off the Wall guitar hangers. Some end up in studs, some don't. If they don't, I use wall anchors. Never a failure. I don't leave guitars on them all the time (except a bass)...only the guitars I am currently using for a project.
