INTRODUCTION
As the guy behind PAINTYOUROWNGUITAR.COM and someone whos been painting guitars for over 20 years, I have more guitars and more guitar parts than you could imagine. Although a lot of my guitars are in cases, I do have roughly 30 or so hanging up on the walls of my guitar room. Rather than spend $10 - $15 for professional guitar wall hangers (which truthfully, are well constructed and probably worth the money), Im just such a do-it-yourselfer, that Id rather not spend $300 on hangers. For me, paying less than $1.00 per hanger is much more appealing! And, thats what this e-book is all about. Follow along and Ill show you how I make a very sturdy guitar hanger in less than 5 minutes and for less than $1.00 per hanger. With the money youll save...shoot - you could probably buy another guitar for your collection! In all seriousness, you dont need any special skills to make these wall hangers; all you need are a few common tools. I show you the exact supplies youll need, the tools, and the measurements. ANYONE CAN DO THIS. Okay - lets get started!

If you dont countersink the holes for your screws, your wall hanger should look like this.

If you dont have a drill bit with a point like the one in FIG 23, then I would suggest that you drill the hole for the mounting screw first, then drill the hole to countersink the screw head last. OPTION 2 - Non-Symmetrical Headstock If youre going to make wall hangers for guitars such as a stratocaster, an

PLEASE NOTE: I actually cut all of these pieces at the same time I was cutting and drilling the wood pieces. You can do all of it at the same time, or you can do this step after all of the wood pieces are cut.

I like to paint it all in one application if I can, so the screw helps me to rotate it in my hand and get all of the recesses. When spraying your paint, hold your can at least 10 away from the wall hanger. Between coats, I rest the hanger on a table. I leave the screw inserted, so half of the hanger is hanging off of the table. I wait roughly 10 minutes between coats. After two coats have been applied, I wait one hour before handling it. When all of your hangers have been painted, and youve given them at least an hour to dry, you can move on to Step 8.

IMPORTANT: As a precaution, when hanging Les Pauls, make sure that you hang them so they sit close to the wall and not out hanging close to the ends of the dowels. These wall hangers are sturdy and so are the oak dowels, but Les Pauls are heavy, so you dont want to risk having the weight of the guitar snap the dowels.

This wall is a mixture of my own wall hangers and some profession wall hangers that cost $15 each. It was after I bought five of the professional hangers that I decided to start making my own.

For my wall, Im fortunate in that I have a high ceiling in my guitar room 13ft. high ceilings, so I was able to hang two guitars per row - and offset them. If you have a ceiling thats at least 7 ft. high, you should be able to also hang two guitars per row. 1. I hung my wall hangers with a space of 45 between the top hanger and the one that sat below it. If your ceiling is 7 ft. high, youll need to tighten up that space to about 41. Most guitars are roughly 39 long, so that gives you just enough room. However, my numbers are estimates, so doublecheck your guitars for length to determine if you can hang one on top of another. 2. I positioned my wall hangers 14.5 apart. This allowed plenty of room between each guitar. 3. I offset the guitars by 16.5 simply because of the height of my ceiling. You may not be able to do that, so if you have to hang them side-by-side, you may want to allow for a little extra space between the guitars. Instead of 14.5, you may want to do something like 16 apart.
