About System
Guitar Hanger MX™ is a heavy duty wall mounted system for holding multiple guitars. Helps to clear up floor space and keep your guitars within easy reach, and looking great. The system is composed of 2 parts: the SlatWall Strip and the Hanger. Strips come in either 4’ or 8’ lengths and mount to any wall. The sleek high performance finishes and colors show off your prized axes in style. Hangers simply attaches onto the Strip from any direction and are easily removable and repositionable, plus the head rotates 180° for hanging guitars straight or at an angle. The slatwall inspired system has the added benefit of allowing free horizontal movements of the hangers.
Our Hangers are made with welded steel, then powder coated with an added soft foam cushion to protect delicate finishes around the guitar neck. Locking strap secures your guitar safely. If you have multiple guitars, this is the best way to get your guitars off the floor and up on the wall. Looks good, works great.™ -
Questions & Answers
Which size hanger do I need?
The 3" Hanger will hang guitars facing front ways but does not allow much room for the guitar to be rotated at an angle.
The 6" Hanger will hang guitars facing front ways and also allow most guitars to be partially rotated so they hang at an angle. It will not allow most guitars to hang completely sideways (perpendicular to the wall).
The 12" Hanger will hang guitars facing front ways and allow most guitars to be fully rotated so they hang sideways (perpendicular to the wall).
The above are general answers that apply for most guitars. But guitars come in many different shapes and sizes. To get an exact answer, you need to determine the widest part of your specific guitar. To do this, measure the distance from the center of the fret board to the widest part of your guitar. If you want to hang your guitar sideways and this distance is less than 6", then you can use our 6" Hanger and your guitar will be able to hang sideways, so it hangs perpendicular to the wall. If this distance is more than 6", then your guitar can be rotated to the point it almost touches the wall, but it won’t be hanging completely perpendicular to the wall. In this case, use the 12" Hanger so your guitar can hang perpendicular to the wall.
How do I hang a guitar with a narrow headstock?
Some guitars like Fender Telecasters™, have a narrow headstock and may not fit well on a hanger. Here is how you can modify the hanger to make it fit:
Using channel lock pliers or table vise or similar, bend both arms inward a bit
Then bend the left arm down a bit.
Then bend the right arm up a bit
Your narrow headstock guitar will now fit perfectly.
Are the cushions safe for guitars with nitro-cellulose finishes?
Unfortunately, no guitar hangers have completely nitro cellulose safe cushions, ours included. As we understand it, damage can occur in two ways: the material used for the cushion 'out-gasses' causing the lacquer to stain, or the cushion prohibits air and moisture movement from the wood of the guitar through the finish causing it to stain.
There are accessory items that address either of these problems, but not both. Leather covers can be purchased (Ingles #SA-10HC) that allow the wood/finish to breathe, but they do not completely stop the cushion gasses from passing through to the finish. There are 'gas-free' cushion materials, but these are relatively expensive and, like the leather covers, address just half the potential problem.
Somewhere in between is likely a solution, but so far none of us manufacturers have found the confidence to state "this is the solution".
For our guitar hangers we use a material that we consider to be comparatively low in its emissions. We can suggest that cloth or leather 'pads' be placed on the hanger arms.
How far from the ceiling should I hang it?
The answer depends on how long your headstock is from the "nut". This measurement can vary by guitar model. On average, mounting the SlatWall Strip such that its top edge is 6" from your ceiling should be adequate, however your particular instrument may vary. If you have the room, it's better to go more than 6" if possible.

About System
Works like SlatWall - in a fraction of the space.™
The SlatWall MX™ Strip is great for getting clutter off the floor and hanging longer items. They work just like traditional slatwall but measuring only 6" high they fit just about anywhere. The proven T-Channel design allows free movement of hooks for fine adjustment of horizontal positioning. Hooks simply attach by sliding into the T-Channel from the front of the strip. SlatWall MX™ Strip is built tough to withstand the extreme heat, cold, and humidity of a rugged work environment.
Compared to other brands such as Gladiator® GearTrak, the SlatWall MX™ Strip is built with real aluminum fascia that will never rust, rot, corrode or degrade over time. We use real aluminum diamond plate and brushed aluminum so that nothing looks more powerful or tougher than the SlatWall MX™ Strip. And most importantly, the SlatWall MX™ Strip is designed to industry standard 3" O.C. which makes it compatible with the millions of standard hooks and accessories available (Gladiator® won’t work).
The SlatWall MX™ Strip is easy to attach to wood studs, drywall over wood studs, or masonry. Just screw into wall and the SlatWall MX™ Strip is ready to go. No maintenance required. Heavy Duty Aluminum Channel Reinforcements give the SlatWall Strip the highest load capacity in the industry.
SlatWall MX™ Strip is a versatile storage and display system. With many hooks and accessories, you can store, organize and display just about anything. Moreover, it is adaptable -- the hooks can be custom arranged and continually rearranged to meet your specific needs.
Available in 2 sizes – 48" and 96". Use for storage, organization and display. For commercial, institutional and residential use. For industry, factory, office, retail spaces, workshop, garages, kitchens, tradeshows and more. Looks great, works even better™.

Can I get true 96" L?
Yes. Please contact us for pricing and shipping cost. Please note that typically 96”L product incurs large shipping costs. This is because the small parcel carriers, such as FedEx and UPS, have implemented large surcharges on packages they consider "oversize" which measure over 96"L. It is evident they only want to ship small boxes from Amazon! Shipping a 96”L product used to require the packag-ing to be 100"L, thereby incurring these large surcharges. For example, the cost to ship one 10 lbs package that is over 96”L is $130 minimum. After months of testing, we have engineered a packaging system which can ship 95" product within a 96" package safely, totally eliminating the oversize charges. If you require your product to be true 96”L then please contact us 1.888.98.DGEAR (983.4327).

Hello, I am happy with the guitar hanger. It works very well with my half a dozen guitars with room for a couple of more. The one thing I would suggest and one negative thing is that the "Cherry" is just a thin artificial layer that's been put on particle board. If I had known it was that I might have ordered the black one or checked to see if there was one that was solid pine or something. I thought it was actually made of cherry wood and there was nothing to indicate that it's just a thin imitation layer. It seems solid enough but it just was not expected. Otherwise I'm very happy with it, thanks!

4 stars. The product looks great and works exactly as described. Very happy. It would have been 5 stars, but I didn't like having to drill the holes myself. I understand it gives customers maximum flexibility in terms of placement, but it still felt like too much work. In particular, the metal is so soft and delicate that it was too easy to have the drill slip and leave an unwanted mark. Perhaps a compromise would be to have dimples where the holes 'should' go with standard stud placements. That would stop the drill but from slipping and also ensure the holes are aligned correctly.

I have been meaning to write in order to thank you and your fine company for providing such an excellent product and excellent service. I am ecstatic with this system, and it has reinvigorated my guitar playing because my guitars are always available to me and looking so good. They call my name as soon as I walk through the door. Even my wife is happy! As a self-employed businessman myself, I appreciate the effort that went into following up with my initial questions and to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Congratulations on running a very sharp company! I will certainly recommend you to others, and I only wish there was a reason for me to do more business with you. I can only think of one area in which I can suggest an improvement. And I believe this is a problem based on the results of your own success. But when I click on the “more photos“ link on your website, the website just tells me it’s loading and I never see the pictures. I’m sure that’s because so many people have uploaded so many pictures that it takes a long time. But I would love to see more pictures of what other folks have done with your guitar rack. Attached below are a couple of photos of mine. Thanks again for making such a great guitar rack!

During the process of building my own studio, The Hideout Recording Studio (www.hideoutlv.com), my wiring installer, Zack Fagan from Under the Wire (www.underthewire.tv), suggested I look at diamondLife gear to clean up and organize my guitar tech room. After checking the diamondLife products out online, I immediately put my order in. The diamondLife guitar hanger not only allows me to solidly hang many guitars on the wall in a small area, it also really looks fantastic and matches the decor in my studio. I would suggest all diamondLife products for anyone who values functionality, quality and aesthetics.
