Ohg perhaps I should have mentioned I wanna mount onto wood first, with the wood then mounted to the wall.

Like so

How ever I can see this being more what I end up with.

Word of caution: If the wood comes down, all goes down...
This it what mine look like (at the moment):

I always wondered if hanging a guitar like that won't affect the neck?

My girl friends dad is a builder type, so I'm gonna get him to do it I think.

However I really like how you did yours SC,  I don't have the room for that arrangement though, I don't think.

MJMP, I have often wondered about that also, and even though I have been inquiring about this, I have had a reservation about the necks.  My thinking is, it's so common that it must be safe to do it.  But who knows.

Hey RG sounds like the go get her dad to do it for you  :thumb-up: .  SC is talking about 6 to 8 cm screws and dowels, that should be adequate, I notice in SCs pics the screws are angled down a little (good idea IMO).  From the guitars perspective it shouldn't be a problem hanging them, you can pick them up by the neck with your hand without damage. Hanging them puts a bit of pressure on the peg head just behind the nut, guitars are pretty strong (depending on construction), telecasters are a bit harder as they don't hang as easily.

If you use a board to attach the hangers to, I'd use dyna bolts to secure it to the wall.

Been hanging my guitars for over 20 years, no problems yet

In fact, my Explorer has been hanging for almost 30 years now, the one that had a broken headstock. Hangs fine, no tuning issues, no problems at all.
