Of guitar stands and hangers

[RickP]

I recently was part of a thread here that resulted in the purchase of 12 String Swing guitar hangers to get a dozen of my favorite stringed things accessible. I have to say thanks to those suggesting this option. They are well made, look great, and ordered from Amazon they were delivered from the company direct in one to two days every time (started with 4, liked that, added 4 more, found more available wall and added 4 more!).

My ever-faithful better half doesn’t mind my keeping a guitar and my Boss Waza Air phones in the living room, so I didn’t want to push my luck with a funky tube stand next to the couch. After doing some reading I got an oak stand from ZitherUSA because it looked nice and uses the String Swing hanger. It arrived yesterday, and I really like it. I got the red oak because it was the cheapest option at $99, but they have other woods including walnut, cherry, mahogany, padauk, and even purpleheart for $199 max. Basically a base with an upright held in place by two long screws. All threaded sockets have metal inserts for strength. Goes together in a flash and is solid. Didn’t feel tipsy at all, even in carpet. And to top it off, they even included a small bottle of Old a English to keep it looking good! I’ll be getting a few more of these!

I thought to share this with my forum friends, in case anyone had a need.

Nice, great find!

In my quest for swank hangars, I ran across this person who makes them on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RodBirchGuitarStands

They are a bit spendy, and they can take a while if you want something custom (which he will do), but man are they nice!

Bookmarked! I used Hercules wall hangers at my prior house. But these might be a better solution at our next one.

Nice!! Thanks for sharing! Think I’ll be checking them out!

I love these but my furry companions, mostly my 20 pound cat that rubs his face on EVERYTHING, would likely cause havoc.

I bumped it pretty good a few times to see it it would fall forward... sturdy, and kept its balance. No cat testing though!

Classy!

Very, very nice, indeed! I don’t have a decent guitar stand to use while recording. Hmmm.

I must admit I have noticed these. They look well smart and wouldn't be out of place anywhere that's for sure. Sweet.!!!
