This horizontal or angled wall hanger kit (shown above) is suitable for electric or acoustic guitars and can be angled all way horizontally if you wanted. Laying the guitars on the floor will give you a good idea on how they will look on the wall. You can easily adjust the height between the levels to see what works and what doesn’t. Stud finders work extremely well (even the ancient one I used) and will give you peace of mind knowing that you’re hanging your guitar in a secure location.

You can see that the first board has been mounted onto six wall studs. This creates a ridiculously strong mounting surface for the hangers. However, storing your instrument on a wall hook also serves a great option if you are looking for a way to store your guitar for long-term and maybe even use it as a decoration piece!

If you’re mounting into wall studs, match the drill bit to be slightly thinner than the screw size. If the drill bit is too wide, the screw won’t grab the wood properly. If the drill bit is too narrow, the wood may split. Once you mount your guitar, you probably won’t be changing the position, so it’s worth thinking about the mounting height now. Lightly mark the location of the stud using a pencil, then mark the height you want to mount your hanger. I marked the screw positions for my hanger by pressing the screws hard into the holes so they would create an indent into the mounting board. Alternatively, you can use a pencil. This guitar stand wall mount would be a perfect fit for narrow-body instruments. The maximum acceptable body depth is up to 2.5 inches. It can also be used for a bass guitar or lap steel, as long as you consider carefully your instrument’s size in case some adjustment is needed.

Be absolutely sure you’re happy with the heights and distance between the two levels before you mount the boards. You definitely don’t want to get to the last guitar and realize you don’t have enough space.

You hang a Ukulele on the wall in the same way you hang a guitar. You can even use a standard guitar hanger if it uses an adjustable space.

In the above photo, you can see how the guitars hang from a basic wall hanger as mentioned earlier. The only difference is that a custom frame surrounds the guitar. A similar thing happens when you hang your guitar on the wall. As you lower it into the hanger, you’re applying more force than the normal weight of the guitar. If you’re mounting directly into drywall, match the drill bit to the size appropriate for the anchor you’re using.
