If you own a guitar, then you would obviously love to display it.
The ways of which you show the guitar tell everything about your love towards it.
You will find many ways on how to hang a guitar on the wall.
I have seen some of my friends creatively displaying guitars on their walls like a priced possession.
Some of them store it in the original case whereas some prefer to lean on their couches.
I also have seen people using command strips for hanging guitars which I do not personally recommend.
They might be brilliant for calendars but not for your guitars, even physics says so.
Even the strongest command strips can hold 7lbs, and your guitar is surely more than that.
If you are looking for alternate ways on how to hang a guitar on the wall without buying a holder from the store, then this would help you.
You can either purchase a guitar hanger or make one yourself.
Buying a holder from the store will cost you and at the meantime if you can make one by yourself that will be less expensive.
So think rationally here.
