Will hanging my guitars on wall hangers have a bad effect on them over time? I assume humidity etc. will play a role but just the fact that they are hanging there and not put away in a case.:?: Thanks for opinions and ideas:cool:

Doesn't seem to bother the guitars in a store. The plastics on some hangers can have a bad reaction with lacquer/nitro but that's about it. Oh, and you'll need to dust them more often. :wink:
Get a decent wall hanger. Hercules are my faves.

A great way to keep them dust free is to play them, often. I've found I play the guitars that are out more often than the ones in the cases. YMMV

My old '78 Ibanez acoustic is hanging on the wall beside me,, as it has done for near 20 yrs... It's never had a case...
rain hail shine winter summer....
it hasn't changed a bit action/sound/finish wise.... gets a bit dusty now that I play the Tele, but always near tune when I decide to noodle something on the old weathered strings... they soon brighten up... a trooper...
a solid one?... I can't see an electric guitar having any issues hanging for a generation,.. bar fading and crud build up...;)

I've used them for years, with no problems of any kind.
I play my guitars more often if I keep them on wall hangers.

I have a couple of guitars hanging on string swing hangers....but the coolest thing is the diamond life system...you can hang 8 guitars in 4 feet...there is one bad thread on the net about a failure but I am convinced it was not properly installed...I have had mine up for several weeks with no problems. The company is great to deal with and I love the product (it makes room for MORE guitars).:razz:

I love it brother! I was a carpenter by trade for many years and this gives me some ideas :) Cheers, Shane
