Owning a guitar means possessing a classical instrument that often looks as beautiful as it sounds. This is the rare instrument that people can learn how to use without formal training or education, but you do need to know how to store it properly. You can put it in a case or on a floor stand, but you can also consider a wall-mounted guitar hanger for many potential benefits.
Easily Accessible
The first benefit of a wall-mounted guitar hanger is that it leaves your instrument readily accessible. Anytime you’re ready to practice or play, you can grab it and start using it. There’s no need to remove it from a stand or case or put it back when you’re done, and that convenience might increase your odds of practicing regularly.
Safer
A wall-mounted guitar hanger holds your instrument securely in place. Being elevated off the floor reduces the odds of it getting knocked over like a floor stand might be prone to happening. The higher it is, the less likely it is to be accidentally bumped by stray feet, pets, kids, or anything else.
Space Savings
If your home has limited floor space, hanging your guitar on a wall can help you preserve valuable square footage in that room. Instead of taking up space with a floor stand or case, you can mount your guitar hanger over an end table or shelf to maximize the area of your room.
Visibility
Some guitars can be very pleasing to look at, even if they’re never played. Use a wall hanger to display your instrument for the work of art it is, especially if it’s a unique pattern, pretty colors, or autographed. If you own multiple guitars, hanging them makes it easier to pick the one you want to play.
