Wood and Metal Guitar Hanger

Wood & Metal Guitar Hanger

A basic guitar hanger that anyone can build at home with some spare time ; this design is pretty simple - but looks nice on the wall and holds a guitar without scuffing or detuning when the metal is formed correctly.

The design uses about 20-25 inches of metal rod, which can be then sanded down and painted any color you like. You will have to bend the metal into place, which is pretty easy with a vice.

Step 1 Materials & Tools

TOOLS:

• Drill / Screw Gun
• Paint Brush (for stain)
• Cut-Off Saw (to cut metal rod, and wood)
• Hot Glue Gun / Epoxy
• Bench Vice & Rag to secure the rod with
• Grinder (optional)

MATERIALS:

Wood Stain / Paint (not required)
Wood Lacquer (not required)
Metal Rod (smooth, not threaded)
Wood Block
Rubber Fuel Hose
Hot Glue / Epoxy
2x Bolts / Nuts
4x Washers
2 Screws

Optional : ** Truck bed liner in a can (to coat the rod)

Once again.... not hanging on the tuners.

or you could use just one of those "U" hanger things for the garage! thats what I did a long time ago.

They work fine and I use them as well sometimes ; but I wanted something different ; prettier, as well as anchored to the back plate using bolts...

is that an alvarez model hanging there im so jealous i cant find these things in new york my ex gfs father had one like a 79 and i thought it was the most comfortable beautiful acoustics
i shouldnt have broken up with her til i asked her dad where he got it ^-

Yep ; an old Alvarez which I need to lower the action on (just a personal preference) ; it's a great guitar though - one of my first quality acoustics. On a side note, I have to give the Larrivee acoustics props - if you can find one in New York ; buy it -- they're canadian made and some of the best acoustic guitars I've ever played ; and I've played Martin, Guild, Gibson, Taylor, etc..

a pic so u can see

A. It doesn't rest on the tuner shafts ; if you form it correctly. B. It's bolted through. Read the entire thing. It's made better than my $15 ones. C. Even purchased guitar hangers are held to a stud with two long wood screws. D. I have a $5,000 Les Paul. It looks nice on the wall in one of my hangers.

I really don't get the picture of the pipe?

It's just a stock pic of a cut off saw, more or less - cutting metal. Tools / Materials pages are never my favorites.

Looks good! I'll have to make this.
