Guitar Wall Mount Displays

Whether you’re looking to source the perfect accent piece for a music room interior design project, or just want to be able to safely hang a guitar on the wall in order to access it more frequently, there are many options for wall mounting a guitar or stringed instrument. The most common way to display an instrument on a wall is typically achieved using a guitar wall hanger or a guitar display case that is safely mounted using a stud-mounted tool. At American Music Furniture we offer both products, which offer great versatility, safety, and a beautiful visual aesthetic that elevates your room unlike many of the cheap and unsafe guitar hangers sold in big box stores. For instance, our wall-mount guitar hanger, The Hyla, utilizes solid wood construction and leather-wrapped posts to safely hang any guitar. Furthermore, our Nashville Wall Mount Guitar Display Cases offer solid wood construction, vibrant LED lighting, and a built-in guitar humidifier to safely display and preserve your favorite instruments. Both of these wall mount pieces feature the Hyla at their core, which separates them from all other hangers on the market. Let’s look at what makes our wall-mount music room furniture so unique…

Choosing The Best Guitar Wall Mount for Your Music Room Design

When it comes to displaying a guitar on a wall, considering your space, guitar collection, and the visual aesthetic of your music room are of the utmost importance when hanging an instrument or a collection. Like vintage posters and other artwork, guitars can elevate a room’s aesthetic by adding color and tying a room together. However, wall-mounting guitars don’t have to be limited to a “music room.” Thanks to the premier components and materials utilized in all of our wall mounts, a guitar player or interior designer doesn’t have to sacrifice the tool’s look in order to provide optimal functionality, allowing it to be featured in any room of your home including the living room, studio, office, and others. Next, let’s look at an overview of the design, materials, and components that make up both the Nashville Wall Mount Guitar Display Case and the Hyla Guitar Wall Hanger…

Nashville Wall Mount Guitar Display Case Design & Features

The Nashville wall mount guitar humidor offers room for one or two guitars to be showcased in furniture comprised completely of the highest quality American hardwoods including Cherry, Maple, Oak, Black Ash, and Walnut. We also utilize locally-made glass for all of our display cases and cabinets, which helps protect your guitars from dust and other contaminants that can affect a guitar’s performance and finish. This wall-mounted option also provides you with an upgradeable active humidification unit, which preserves your instruments at the ideal guitar humidity level of 45% RH. This built-in guitar humidifier is a reliable tool for one or two stringed instruments of just about any size from a small body parlor acoustic to a large archtop such as an ES-335 or jumbo-sized acoustic guitar. Almost all guitars will hang comfortably within the Nashville via the Hyla Guitar Hanger, which is utilized in each wall-mount cabinet. Some of the Nashville features include:

The Hyla Wall Mount Guitar Hanger Design & Features

This wall-mounted display for hanging your guitars separates itself from all others beginning with its striking design. As previously mentioned, the intent with the Hyla Hanger’s design is to improve upon the damaging materials and lacking visual presentation often associated with these displays. In order to do so, each Hyla begins with your choice of solid woods including Natural Oak, Maple, Walnut, or Black Ash. As with all of our furniture, each piece of wood is locally sourced and sustainable. Next, the Hyla is made to accommodate a variety of acoustic, electric, and bass guitar necks by using a rotating base that easily adjusts to the angle of just about any guitar from a Gibson Firebird to a Stratocaster, and other asymmetrically design headstocks. This intentional design is completed by utilizing materials that remove the possibility of a negative reaction between materials, which we’ll explain more about later. Here are some of the features of the Hyla Guitar Hanger:

Guitar Wall Mount Safety

At American Music Furniture, we utilize materials in each of our guitar display cases, wall mounts, and cabinets including finishes that have been tested & approved by the C.F. Martin & Co. Quality Assurance Team for preservation and display. In the case of the Hyla (also utilized in the Nashville wall mounts, the leather-wrapped posts are free of synthetic materials, which are known to cause discoloration, fading, and in some cases, removal of the clearcoat finish of certain instruments. It’s also common for these negative reactions to be more prominent with stringed instruments that are vintage or utilize nitrocellulose lacquer. Harmful materials such as foam and rubber disintegrate over time, which can lead to damage and loss of value in instruments. Furthermore, this process can be sped up by heat and direct sunlight when displaying a guitar. The Hyla Hanger as well as our natural cork-lined neck and lower bout rests in our guitar display cases safely preserve and protect your guitars from any negative reaction and even aid in avoiding scratches due to their soft but supportive nature.

Wall Mount Guitar Hanger & Display Case Commonly Asked Questions

Is it okay to wall mount a guitar?

Yes. When done correctly, utilizing a high-quality guitar hanger or display case to mount your guitar is a great way to incorporate them into your interior design including a living room, or to display them in your music room. Mounting a guitar to a wall is also a great way to free up floor space and display your guitars like artwork.

Do guitar wall hangers need to be in studs?

We always recommend utilizing a stud finder and the appropriate tools to ensure that your guitars are safely secured to a wall. This means utilizing a French cleat that gets mounted to two studs in order to support the weight of our wall-mount guitar display cases or utilizing wall anchors and screws to stud-mount any guitar wall hangers.

What’s the best way to hang a guitar on the wall?

If you’re looking for an acoustic guitar hanger or instrument wall mount, the best way to hang and display it is to first ensure that the construction of the hanger is optimal for the weight of the instrument. Second, we always recommend stud-mounting the hanger to your wall for optimal safety and reliability. Doing so ensures that your instruments are well protected.

Can a guitar hanger damage a guitar?

Yes, certain guitar hangers (typically mass-marketed & low-cost) can damage the instrument’s finish. This is typically common with the many wall hangers that utilize cheap rubber or synthetic padding used on the neck rests which can cause a negative reaction with the finish. This damage often looks like hazing and causes discoloration on the headstock rests. For this reason, you’ll want to find the safest guitar wall hanger that uses natural materials to avoid any damage.
