When you've finished playing, you could tuck your guitar away in your gig bag or case, but why would you hide it away from the world when you can put it on display? You can either set up your guitar in the corner using a stable guitar stand, or you could mount it on the wall and really show it off.
Guitar Wall Mounts: Space-Saving & Safe
A guitar wall mount is basically a hook designed to be mounted onto a wall so you can hang up a guitar. Wall mounts don't just save floor space, but keep your instrument safely out of the way of the dog or the hoover, so they're sometimes a better option than using a guitar stand.
Guitar Bracket, Suspension Bracket, or Wall Mount: Is There a Difference?
Whether it's a hook, a bracket, or wall mount, it's all the same since they're all designed to mount your guitar on the wall. However, you can get different kinds of wall mounts, most of which will be compatible with six or seven string guitars as well as four or five strings basses. You could go for just a simple wall hook, like this Innox guitar wall mount, or you could get something more extensive, like the wall mounts designed by Konig & Meyer, which are compatible with an array of different models. Some wall mounts feature clamps, that automatically grip the neck as soon as weight is applied to the hook, and if you want to be absolutely certain that your guitar is firmly secured, you could take a look at some Hercules wall mounts which have a smart mechanism that slides two hooks around the neck when the instrument is hung.
Wooden, Metal, or Plastic Wall Mounts
Whether you want to hang up your electric, acoustic, or bass guitar, there will always be a wall mount that will fit it, and since most wall mounts are compatible with most models, it makes it much easier to pick one out. The hard bit is choosing between a metal mount, a stylish wooden mount, or even 'next-level' wall mounts that double as wall decorations. There are also rotatable wall mounts with an extended arm that hold your guitar away from the wall, and mounts that suspend the guitar horizontally, supporting the body as well as the neck.
