I've hung about 10-12 guitars on the wall
by the headstock for years with no ill effect. Here's my theory on the physics of weight distrubution. All guitars have a minimum of 3 screws holding the neck to body. In addition the foot pounds measured from bridge (body) to tuners (neck) on a guitar tuned to concert pitch strung with 10's would support the 5-7 pounds of body weight.
