Hanging guitars on the wall

[Andy]

Oh sure, trip over a cable and land up against the wall, then what do you have?

I just bought two Swing Strings guitar hangers that wingsdad and Plank Spanker mentioned earlier in this thread. I think they are likely about the best hangers on the market and are not that expensive. I have single stands as well, but it's not that difficult to tip one over, and a headstock break isn't something I want to see happen. I'm also considering something like the 5 Guitar Stands that are on the marker. The seem a little more stable to me.

My concern, or more so my question, how can a exterior wall be any different for the guitar versus an interior wall? I just haven't heard a real solid argument for using the interior wall.

If your outside walls are insulated, you aren't going to have a problem here... and living in Cleveland, I'm pretty sure that they are. I believe the exterior wall thing was intended for upright pianos, and this included having them too close to heat sources such are registers as well.

I think what may be more important over an interior / exterior wall, is making sure your hangers are not placed near the regular flow of traffic. If your amps are on the floor on a particular wall, that may be your best spot for placement.

Warren might want to reconsider his wall hangers.

As far as UV exposure goes, my guitars don't get any direct sunlight. As far as accidental damage goes, they are definitely out of harm's way on the wall - it sure beats a stand.

Inviting thieves? You really can't see into my guitar lounge from the street. You want to break in? You have to get past my alarm system first, which is set up to protect my guitar lounge. If you are a truly determined and skilled thief, you might make it, but you won't if you're a casual moron.

I see no down sides to hanging guitars. They look great, they're safe, and they're readily accessible.
