If the 'run of the mill' Guitar hangers lack that certain something, then its time you 'Got a Grip'!Grip Studio wall hangers are built from the finest materials and strong enough to support many times the weight of any Guitar or Bass. Grip hangers are machined and balanced so your instrument fits securely.The grip is equipped with a protective rubber cushion so the neck and head stock of your Guitar or Bass is well protected.Installation Instructions for Wall Mounting:WARNING: MUST BE MOUNTED INTO A STUDEnclosed:Guitar HangerHanger BoltTools needed:Drill with 3/16 inch bitInstructions:Find a stud (supporting member in a light-frame construction wall) where you want your Grip to hang. Drill a 3/16th starter hole into stud.Take the wall mounting screw that came with your Grip Guitar Hanger and screw the flat headed end into your hanger so that the wall screw portion (pointed end) is protruding approximately 1 1/2 inches from the hanger felt bottom.Proceed to screw in your hanger into the wall.Continue to turn your hanger until it tightens against the wall and then position it where your guitar will hang level.Make adjustments as needed.Mounting your hanger into drywall (not into a stud) voids all warranty claims.
