Guitar wall mount - wall mounting guitar racks
Store more guitars in less space than you ever thought possible and fit it in minutes not hours.
What is a guitar wall mount?
A guitar wall mount is a way of mounting one or more guitars to a wall for storage or display purposes. It could be a single hook or a wall mounting rack that can hold several guitars. Mounting guitars on the wall saves space and keeps them off the floor where they could get damaged.
The GearHooks® GTR3/6/9 guitar wall mount is a unique and stunning way to store and display up to 9 guitars in just 1M of wall space. Mount one rack above the other to save even more space. If you really want to make a statement you can mount them at an angle or in 'V's 'zig-zags' and 'waves'.
No matter how many guitars you need to store you only need to drill 3 holes for each rack so fitting is really quick and easy, Mounting ordinary guitar hooks for 9 guitars would mean drilling 36 holes!!!
Whether you're looking for an impressive and space saving way to display your collection in a house or apartment or you want a compact and accessible way to store your instruments in a studio, school, college or university this may be the solution.
As well acoustic and electric guitars* you can also mount mandolins, ukuleles, banjos and even clarinets, cornets, tambourines and just about any other musical instrument. Click here to see our Ukulele racks.
Each guitar rack is fitted with 3 GearHooks® and will store up to 3, 6 or 9 guitars depending on the length of the GearHooks.
The image above shows one of each length of GearHook® (but this is just to show you the difference). Each rack is supplied with the rail and 3 hooks ready to take 3, 6 or 9 guitars depending on which model you choose:
The GTR3 has 3 x 100mm long GearHooks® which hold one guitar each. Total 3.
The GTR6 has 3 x 200mm long GearHooks® which hold two guitars each. Total 6.
The GTR9 has 3 x 300mm long GearHooks® which hold three guitars each. Total 9.
If you have more guitars just order more racks. These can be mounted next to each other or one above the other, in which case you can get 2 or 3 in about 1 metre of wall space.
Each GearHook has a soft silicone coating*** to protect your guitars. The rail comes in a choice of colours (red, orange, blue, green, yellow, grey, white and black) so you can match your decor or guitars.
All the GTR3/6/9 racks mount with just 3 holes so fitting is really quick and easy. Screwing 1 ordinary guitar hook to the wall would probably mean you correctly lining up and drilling 4 tiny holes. Fitting enough for 3 guitars would mean 12 holes. For 9 guitars that would be 36 holes!! That's a lot of drilling and lots of opportunities to get it wrong.
All our racks fit with just 3 x 8mm holes that are quick and easy to drill and, because the rails fit via a slot, you can be a few mm off and the rail will still be spot on.
GearHooks® mount on the rail via a sliding nut and clamp that allow the hooks to be fitted anywhere on the rail. You can even rotate the hooks which means you can mount the rail at an angle or mount 2 rails in a V shape to really make a statement.
Some photographs show extra storage hooks so you can store smaller instruments, headphones, microphones, leads and more in between the guitars to really make use of wall space. (these are an optional extra and not included as standard).
The rack is supplied, as standard, with GearHooks® with a 45mm gap. This is ideal for a mixture of acoustic and electric guitars* with a ’standard’ 45mm neck** measured at the nut. If you have some 12 string or Spanish guitars, with a wider neck, it is possible to open up the prongs, on longer GearHooks, to make the outermost gap(s) wider.
The GearHooks® Guitar rack is designed and manufactured in the UK, supported throughout Europe and Guaranteed for Life.

Important notes
* Heavy guitars with curved necks may force open the prongs on longer hooks so we supply 1 or 2 straps per hook, which can be fitted after the first or second guitar, to stop this happening. We recommend storing the heaviest guitars closest to the wall.
** Some guitars with an asymmetric headstocks (like a Fender Stratocaster) will not sit properly between the prongs of the GearHooks. It is sometimes possible to resolve this by rotating the hook (so one prong is higher than the other) or by adding more straps (which we supply FOC). It may not be possible to mount all guitars like this on the rack.
*** Nitrocellulose Lacquer - we fit our standard guitar racks with Silicone sleeves. These should not react with the Nitrocellulose finishes which may be used on Vintage and very expensive guitars. We supply instructions to double check.
Other Musical Instrument storage solutions
For schools and colleges we will supply harder wearing PVC sleeves as standard unless otherwise requested. These are not suitable for guitars with Nitrocellulose but are fine with Polyester and other lacquers.
