String SwingGuitar Holder Horizontal Low-Profile Narrow-Body for Flat Wall Mount Bass and Electric Guitars- 1 Piece Unit CC151-LPN-FW

Well pleased with the String Swing guitar wall mount. It is well made, sturdy and looks great. Most important of all...I feel that my guitar is safe! It was shipped in a sealed plastic bag inside the larger Amazon carton. It surprised me that String Swing did not box their quality and relatively expensive product. I find that many companies are cutting cost in this way now days. Or maybe it is because it was purchased through Amazon. No matter, it arrived on time and in perfect condition.The String Swing mount is fairly easy to install, but placement can be tricky. The guitar I have mounted in my music room (see pic) is not a very expensive instrument. It has much more sentimental value. It belonged to my brother who lost his battle with cancer about a year ago. I may have displayed it higher on the wall than your needs, but this guitar is not going to be taken up and down to play. I do have a few expensive axes in my collection but when I am not picking at them, they are in their cases. WHERE THEY BELONG! IMHO.The first step for installing is to find a stud in your chosen wall. Then take the provided plastic wall anchors and throw them away! If you are not going to use a STUD to mount your cherished instrument, then I have nothing more to say to you. Unless you are hanging some p.o.s. you don't care about... in which case you can just drill a hole in it, use a nail, and save yourself 40 plus dollars!Next, temporarily put the two parts of the mount together on a bed or other safe surface. Make sure the nuts and bolts are just loose enough to experiment with the angle you want. YES, you can mount your guitar at almost any angle you want but remember.... the steeper the angle, the lower the body of the guitar will be to the floor. Now, carefully place the guitar in the mount on the bed. You can now move things around to see different angles and where each support arm will end up against your guitar. In my case I needed the bottom of the guitar to be 60 inches up from the floor and I liked the playing angle I have it at. (About 15 degrees.) Use the edge of the bed as a guide to find the angle you prefer. Then sneak a tape measure under the guitar and measure STRAIGHT DOWN from the bottom mounting hole towards the edge of the bed. Get an eyeball estimate on how much lower the bottom of the guitar is from that bottom mounting hole. In my case it was 10 inches. So, if I wanted the bottom of the guitar to be 60 inches from the floor.... I needed the bottom mounting hole to be 70 inches from the floor. Mark the wall for that bottom mounting hole and the rest is cake.I did get someone to help hold the mount, making it easier to drive the screws. I knew there was a reason I married her!

Very high quality guitar wall mount that displays your guitar beautifully and safely. The rubber padding protects the guitar from scratches and further secures the guitar. Fits nearly any guitar and is a great value for the money! It even looks good without the guitar! Extremely easy to install with a few tools.Installation tips:If your wall stud isn’t in the correct position and you’re attaching the guitar mount to drywall myrecommendation is to refrain from using the drywall anchors provided as repeated use will eventually wiggle them out as with anything using a drywall anchor. Instead I recommend using heavy duty toggle bolts so you can rest easy knowing your guitar is safe. The toggle bolts I used have a 265lb rating on each bolt. The toggle bolts will be thicker than the holes used to secure the mount to the wall so I used a 5/16 drill bit to make them bigger. First set the angle you desire by loosening and retightening the nut on the front of the mount underneath the rubber grommet. Then, line up the mount to the desired position on the wall and using a pen or marker, dot the holes where they meet the wall making sure not to slide the mount in the process. With your mount holes marked, you can now install the toggle bolts. First step to install the bolts is to drill straight holes through the wall on your marks. For these bolts it is recommended to use a 1/2 drill bit. Next, slide the plastic rod through the hole with the metal end going in first. Once through, pull it back towards you ensuring the metal is flat against the back of the wall. Then, slide the plastic tab down the plastic rod until it is flush against the wall. You can now snap the remaining plastic off and secure the guitar mount to the rods using a Phillips screwdriver. Make sure not to over tighten the bolts, just secure them snug to the wall. The wall mount can now double as a pull up bar 😂(don’t use it as a pull up bar).Recommended Tools:- 13mm wrench or socket wrench- Drill- Phillips head screwdriver- 5/16 & 1/2 inch drill bits- Toggle bolts

No complaints, works as expected. It was simple to install and now my wall looks even better with a telecaster hanging on it.

Honestly I've tried what feels like a million brands of guitar holders and hangers and the brands worth their salt are String Swing and Hercules and that's pretty much it. imo I think the Hercules locking wall mounts are probably the sturdiest (if, for a totally hypothetical example, you live in a tiny apartment and have to hang your instruments but also people including you tend to knock into them, courtesy of the aforementioned lack of space), but the String Swing ones have never failed me and they're way cuter to look at too, if you care about that sort of thing!I was super nervous about buying this particular wall mount because it was intended for an oddly-sized-and-weighted guitar (a semi-hollowbody electric dobro, so wider/thicker than most electrics, even of similar styles, but narrower than a regular acoustic), so I bought the narrower width and it still fits plenty well. (If you have a regular Dobro I would probably use the wider size.) In addition, the guitar in question is EXTREMELY heavy in the body because it's like 50% metal, but the way this wall mount is designed meant that I could install the two-prong section, put the guitar in it, and adjust accordingly before I screwed in the headstock piece.Every time I move, I just buy a new one of these if I can't successfully remove the old one (over time they get tougher to unscrew, which is actually reassuring, although I move a lot so I feel like i need a sponsorship deal at this point, haha), and one version or another has been holding that particular guitar for the better part of a decade on several different walls, with or without studs, with zero wobbles or issues.
