Hercules Guitar Hanger

Lvshorty610 · 09-24-2009, 09:03 PM

Do you guys think its safe to mount a Hercules Guitar Hanger into drywall using a hollow-wall anchor as opposed to mounting it directly to a stud? I've got a pretty specific location I want to put my hanger, and its all hollow wall at that location.

I know that stud mounting is always a better idea, but do you reckon using hollow-wall anchors is safe enough?

If you use those toggle wing nuts it should be okay.

Those things can hold a toilet cisterns (with the weight of water) onto the wall, so I reckon it should be okay for a guitar.
