Is there a good guitar "wall hanger" for a tele?

crlong · July 28th, 2003, 09:05 PM

I have tried those hangers that screw into the wall (they're called something like String Swings), but they will not hold a tele worth a crap because of the headstock shape. Is there anything else available that will SAFELY hold a tele? I play my telecaster so much more when I can see it and it is constantly tempting me to be played!

The string swing hangers I have automatically swivel to find the ideal tele angle.

I make my own. They have a 50lb capacity. They only swivel if I swivel them, so i do so to just accept a tele or strat, whichever need be.

email me and i'll send you a picture if you like.

i have like 25 hanging as we speak....over 3 years, no drops ....[[knock-on-wood]]

String Swings work great. Bend the arms a little closer together and swivel the up at an angle to fit the headstock. I have 14 of them. No complaints.

These guys work great:

Very heavy cast aluminum, very thick non-reactive padding, swivels freely to accomodate Tele headstocks.

Been using them exclusively for three or four years now with zero problems, misses, or even near-misses.

Can't recommend them highly enough......

Have you seen the little leather strapes they use at guitar center ? They loop around the tuning keys and then they hang em on a coat hook . I have seen some guitars that have damaged finishes around the head stock from hanging in a wall hanger , but with the strap idea the finish doesnt contact anything
