A few issues I have been made aware of over the years,I am willing to share with you nice folks.

1. Some Wall hangers do not fit all instruments properly.
2. Teles hang in some with most of the weight on the low E tuning key,most likely not a good thing.
3. Firebirds & some acoustics also hang on the tuning keys;mainly ones with the keys on the back of the headstock instead of the sides.Most likely not a good thing.
4. If you get careless during some hectic day and decide to hang a Really Heavy, VERY EXPENSIVE banjo on a wall hanger.........there is a chance of breakage where the thin neck swells into a headstock............................I understand this can be followed surprisingly quickly by being notified you no longer have a job at that particular music store.
