Adding a Guitar Wall. - GabbieGillmer

We decided to clean up the floor space a little and put our kids Guitars on the wall. To do this we purchased some guitar wall hooks off of Amazon. Here are a few pictures of putting them up and how we did it.

The project start:

We purchased these hooks off of amazon. It was a box of 8 hooks. We only planned to use 6 of them for now.

Here is a picture of the brand and box. It was 8 Guitar Wall hooks and a couple pick holders.

Here is what was in the box.

Each hook is comprised of the base and hook portion. They even provided the wall anchors.

I started by just screwing the hooks to the base.

Here is the back of the base.

Next I found the studs in the wall with my stud finder, as I wanted to make sure I had at least one screw in each stud. I was spacing them ~16 inches apart. I was also alternating height at 14″ from the ceiling and 20″ from the ceiling. As a precaution I made sure my marks were 16 inches apart which is a common spacing in the US. I have not done this in the past and hit a water pipe thinking it was a stud. That was not a fun lesson. Below you can see I was using a single sheetrock anchor and the other two holes were going to be into a stud. I just predrilled my hole for my anchor and tapped it in.

Here you can see how I was alternating the height between holders. While I could have used the included screws, I had some heavier duty ones handy that I chose to use if going into the stud.
