The Guitar Hanger -1001, Original Closet

The Guitar Hanger is a stringed instrument hanging storage device designed to hang your instrument from the horizontal rod in your closet. With a clawed hook similar to, but more sophisticated than, a guitar wall hanger, The Guitar Hanger does a good job of storing my guitar in the closet out of sight of casual guests and up off the floor like on a typical guitar stand. I like the idea of being able to grab my guitar at a moments notice without the chore of getting the guitar case out. The Guitar Hanger consists of an upper hook part made of stainless, I believe, designed to hang from the closet rod and hold the lower hook portion which grasps the two sides of the headstock of the guitar. The similarity to the hook on a guitar wall hanger ends there. The resilient black overmolding on the two claws of the hook is soft enough to avoid scratching the finish on the guitar while the hard plastic back flange of the claw slips precisely into the bottom loop of the upper wire part. Thus the Guitar Hanger can be slipped apart and instantly reassembled, making it a natural for use in hotel closets while traveling. Disassembled, the two parts could fit in a guitar case or gig bag, as demonstated on [...]. The two claws of the hook curve a little closer together at the front, making the grasp of the hook around the headstock very secure in case of any jostling that may occur of the other contents of your closet. Also, you have the option of putting your guitar in the claw frontwards or backwards to accomodate unusual headstock shapes. Is it worth more money than a wall hanger? You bet it is. Precisely made, lightweight, portable, strong, secure, fits most guitars, and it came with an Is It Hanging? bumper sticker.

I bought it for my violin and viola, because, as far as I know, there isn't any acceptable travel solution in the market for those instruments. While the fit is not perfect, the ability to hang on many surfaces (not just in a closet) is priceless, the metal is massive, no cheap metal hanger here, the plastic seems very strong. Yes, it is a bit expensive, but for someone that owns several types of hangers (mostly String Swing brand), this one is of very good quality. String Swing hangers are high quality for less money, but they don't make anything quite like this.

This works great and is well thought out. You do have to turn the guitar at a right angle, insert the head, and then turn it facing out. That basically locks it in place so if you should bump the hanger, you are not going to knock the guitar out. Also, the plastic peg that holds the guitar twists into place on the metal part and can't easily come out while the guitar is hanging from it. Almost everything is made so that gravity is your friend and your guitar isn't going to fall even if you push the hanger or the guitar around. The only thing I have to watch for is to grab the hanger, not the guitar, when I want it down. If you lift the guitar, the metal part of the hanger will swing and hit the neck of the guitar. I understand why they designed it the way they did and I guess I could do something drastic like glue it in place, but I've just developed the habit of lifting it by the hanger. Does exactly what I needed and lets me keep my guitar visible and easily accessible.

This is a good investment for someone running out of floor space for guitar A-stands. The guitar goes in at 90 degrees and then you turn it so it rests upon the lower hook. This is good, because this design ensures that the guitar will not slip out. However, a word to the wise. I own a classical guitar with the standard wider fretboard. Even at the smallest width at the nut, the classical does not fit. My acoustic/electric dreadnought fits, but not the classical. In addition, the top of the guitar headstock hangs approximately six inches below the hanger. I've got this on a clothes hook so the back of the guitar hangs flush with the closet door. Yet and still, this is a good buy and the hanger is quite durable. Very pleased.

This product holds my Telecaster very well in my closet. It is a very good product.

ok

I ordered this product to hang my Collings MT mandolin in my closet and it works perfectly! I don't understand some of the comments that this item costs too much. It's a quality product and does exactly what it is intended to do. I think it's worth every penny and highly recommend. I'm going to order one for my Bourgeois Slope D acoustic. The "Is It Hanging" bumper sticker is a cool addition as well. It's already on my guitar case.

Works as advertised. Feels very durable. It can be taken apart for travel, but when together, the connection feels very strong. Bent pegboard on Les Paul means that it has to go in "backwards", but works well. It seems pricey, but it is well worth it for the safety of your instrument, and peace of mind. Short of the clothes bar failing, the guitar isn't going anywhere.

Purchased this and the Guitar Bar Hanger. This one is a better fit for some guitars, especially those slightly wider at the nut. Prefer this product, more flexible for different types of guitars. Sturdy. Great product.

Gute Sache der Hänger, um die Gitarre an einer Kleiderstange o.ä. unterzubringen. Ich habe eine alte 3/4-Gitarre damit am Kleiderschrank hängen. Das sieht nett aus, und sie ist immer griffbereit. Meine Konzertgitarre (knapp 52mm Sattelbreite) passt allerdings nicht rein. Aber hey - die würde ich eh nicht ungeschützt an die Garderobe hängen!

Parfait. Il faudrait en plus une housse de façon à protéger les guitares des chocs contre le fond de la penderie :-)

This is a sturdy guitar hanger that lets you hang your instrument safely off the floor. While it might have been designed for hanging the guitar away in a wardrobe, it also works well over a hook on the wall, from an over-the-door hook, or clamped onto a bookcase. Combined with an "Adjustable Headphone Stand Hanger Holder" that clamps onto shelves (also from Amazon.com.au; get one that holds up to 5kg), you can build a strong but unobtrusive home for the guitar that doesn't damage the bookcase. It's perfect! The hanger holds a precious guitar safely, and it's set out far enough that the instrument doesn't bang against the bookcase. It's easy to lift off, and can be quickly packed away out of sight if necessary. It's a great solution if you don't want to drill the wall to install a hanger, but don't want to leave the guitar in a rack on the floor. It's also easy to take when travelling. Very happy with this purchase 😊

Brilliant product. I have to make room for my tv to be moved up on my wall. I have an in wall cupboard with a removeable hanging hook that goes over the top of the door. Bought this to hang an acoustic from that hook. Did the job admirably. Although, wouldn't open the door with the guitar hanging. Excellent product. Recommended. 😉
