Your cart is empty.The Gator Frameworks Guitar Hanger is quick and easy to install and safely supports most stringed instruments including electric, acoustic and bass guitars. The rubberized swivel yoke allows the hanger to properly cradle the instrument, while the sleek black standoff ensures the guitar sits far enough off the wall for both straight and angled headstocks. Mounting hardware is included as well as a foam wall pad to protect your surface from marring or scratches. Once installed, a decorative plate covers the mounting hardware for a clean and stylish presentation. What truly sets this apart from the rest is the variety of decorative cover plates available. With (5) unique cover plates available, the Frameworks Guitar Hanger is perfect for any setting. Match your contemporary style at home with the Cherry, Mahogany, or Maple finish or go for a modern look in the studio with a brushed stainless steel or all black cover plate. Safe for standard polyeurethane finishes, not recommended for vintage/lacquer finishes.

Gator Frameworks has a clean look but design and mounting hardware is grossly inadequate.-Problems1) Plastic anchors are cheap and will pull thru drywall (Pic 1) under the weight of a 9 pound Les Paul.2) Center threaded cradle that holds guitar if screwed in securely, threads are too long (Pic 2) and will put too much pressure on anchors and start to separate from wall.-Remedies1) Use another anchoring system like Toggle Bolts or use another longer screw to go directly into stud.2) Center threaded cradle needs a relief hole drilled at least a 1/4 inch (Pic 1 Center hole, right set).-Hope this helped

I own six of these. They look great, are sturdy with no exposed mounting hardware, and come with high quality self drilling anchors. Literally zero complaints.

Looks great on the wall. Easy to install, holds the guitar in place very well and is sturdy.

Overall, these Gator wall mounts are very good for hanging your instruments on the wall. However, not quite perfect.Firstly, NEVER hang your precious guitars from hooks installed directly onto plasterboard/drywall. It's only a few millimetres thick and simply not strong enough to take the weight no matter what type of wall plugs you use for extra support. So, the screw and plugs that Gator supply in these kits are a total waste and they really should not supply them at all. If your walls are made from plasterboard/drywall material, find the wall studs behind the boards and use a longer, sturdier screw to support the metal plates properly.I am lucky enough to have fairly thick timber walls, so I was able to use the screws supplied to screw the backing plate directly onto the timber. So, no problem there. However, there is a design flaw in regard to the metal Mounting Plate and the Decorative Cover that goes over this.The Mounting Plate with the foam rubber backing stuck onto it is simply not as thick as it should be altogether. This means it does not protrude far enough forward inside the Decorative Cover. So, once the plate is on the wall, if you place the Decorative Cover over the plate and you have the plastic standoff bracket attached as per the installation diagram, the screw thread that forms part of the guitar hanger itself is not long enough to reach the metal plate that it is supposed to screw into!To get around this problem you need some extra packing between the wall and the Mounting Plate before you screw it to the wall. If you happen to have some spare foam rubber about the same thickness as the stuff that Gator supplies, that should be just about the right thickness (i.e. about double the thickness of the Gator foam altogether). In my case, I just used the metal plate as my template and cut two pieces of cardboard from the packaging that the wall mounts came in. I placed that behind the Mounting Plate with the foam on it and that turned out to be just enough to ensure the mounting plate was far enough forward inside of the Decorative Cover to allow the Guitar Hanger to screw into it. Problem solved.Of course, this is a stupid design flaw and detracts from what would otherwise be a close to perfect hanging system. Gator needs to fix this.Aside from that, these wall mounts are pretty good and support fairly heavy electric guitars and basses with no trouble. Of course, if you have any instruments with a nitrocellulose finish, be sure to cover the foam rubber on the support hooks with some type of cotton cover to stop the nitro' reacting with the rubber and wrecking your precious gear (this is not an issue unique to Gator and applies to ALL wall mount systems as far as I can see. I don't trust any of them in this regard).

Tengo un año que coloqué uno en mi cuarto para colgar una guitarra electrica y se ve hermoso además de que es resistente, tengo la tranquilidad que mi guitarra está segura. Lo recomiendo, su diseño es bonito, no maltrata el brazo de la guitarra debido a sus materiales de buena calidad. Fué fácil instalarlo!

Looks like a good hanger. It's solid, and easy to install. You have to use the foam backing for it, or use your own shim or nuts/washer as spacers in order for the thread support arm to fit into the backing plate. I like the lack of plastic in this item, since I don't trust a plastic guitar hanger to hold on to the weight of an electric guitar. Also, NEVER install a guitar hanger into drywall. That's a terrible idea, unless you don't mind your guitar ripping out of the wall and hitting the floor. Mount it into a wall stud, or the equivalent.If you don't know whether you should install this into drywall alone, or a wall stud, then you shouldn't attempt to install it, or leave a product review! Also if the plastic tabs on the horizontal arm look "swollen", then angle the arm into the metal plate, and flex it in. This isn't rocket science. It's a good product. If it pulls out of drywall, then it's the installer's fault.

~Four year update~I have used these in a few different apartments now and I have to say I'm really happy with the look and sturdiness of them. Lots of products like these don't do well with being reset multiple times, but these have been a cinch.~Original Review~Great little guitar holders. The design is super slick and they look great. I would recommend them - however there are some issues.First thing is that all 3 I received had the chrome finish dented and blemished, likely due to the screws getting loose in all the packages and there being no protective sleeve on the material. Second issue is that it is very hard to perfectly level because the wall anchors are prone to causing fixture rotation just slightly. It is just enough to have my perfectionist self fret.All that said these were perfect for me and I'd recommend them

Purchased two in mahogany, nice color. Attached one to drywall with a different type of screw fastener not provided in the package as I have never had luck with those. The second one attached into the stud. Both easy to attach but noticed one of the front covers had cracked at the lip. The plastic reminds me of light switch cover plates, not the most durable however, the posts are and they sit nicely on the wall supporting both acoustic and electric guitara. The posts are long enough to support the guitars approx 3' inches from the wall protecting guitars and walls from scratches. They look great but be careful when first attaching as the covers can crack, hence the four-stars.

These Gator Frameworks guitar wall hangers are everything the company claims. I currently have three guitars securely suspended on my wall by these. I particularly like that the attractive wooden covers hide the mounting hardware. They're very unobtrusive.A couple of caveats:First, carefully follow the instructions, take your time, and use the recommended tools including a level to properly align the screws for the mounting plate.Second, be very careful with the thin wooden covers. They're easily broken along the edges. I had a small piece crack off along the edge of one cover. Fortunately, I was able to glue it back into place and then attach the cover so that the crack is at the top of the hanger where it isn't visible.I'd recommend mounting the hangers to wall studs to ensure that your valuable guitar never falls, but if you intend to mount several guitars side-by-side, as I did, keep in mind that two or more guitar bodies will not fit side-by-side on sixteen-inch centers—the width between most wall studs. Instead, it's necessary to stagger the guitars in up and down the wall, as shown in my photo. Use a stud finder to accurately locate the wall studs. A 10-dollar stud finder will keep you from having to drill any more holes than absolutely necessary.I've used other guitar hangers that worked equally well, but these are the most attractive hangers that I've owned.

Small, simple, strong, easy to install and to use, no visible screws or mounting hardware. Everything I was looking for. and more, for less than 11 bucks apiece. My guitars are finally off floor stands and my keyboard nicely fills the space they used to occupy. The whole room feels bigger and is much less cluttered.I found a spacing of 16" on-center between hangers to be just right for my install. That ends up being a tad over 14" of wall space from the edge of one hanger to the edge of the next . The guitars hang close together, but not too close. 16" on-center just happens to ideal for mounting to studs which are often 16" on-center apart. But I didn't feel any desire or need to be constrained by the studs. The included wall anchors were a breeze to install into drywall and are plenty strong enough to hold a Strat or Takamine acoustic, which is what I have, and they are pretty average weight instruments.I looked at a lot of hangers before choosing these. Most others have visible mounting screws and I generally prefer hidden hardware. I was really put off by the looks of many of the other products which not only have visible screws, but the screws are almost universally black even with white or wood colored hangers. The Gators are very clean looking and don't trade off anything for the sleek appearance. They are just designed better, IMO.
