Eric R. Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 I have a Konig & Meyer wall mount for my guitar, and usually uave a Western guitar hanging in it. However, one thing that’s always bugged me a bit is that the way it’s mounted onto the wall doesn’t seem to be 100% level - the deviation is minimal, but it makes me wonder how strict we’re expected to be when attaching these things to the wall. I could imagine that, in the long run, any ‘sideways’ pull will be bad for the neck, but then again, guitars are often surprisingly resilient (and the K&M can move a bit anyway, so if there’s a serious weight imbalance one would expect that to be automatically corrected). Any opinions? Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many guitars (even acoustics...) that are not symmetrically balanced anyway, so even if the wall mount was 'plumb', the weight could well be offset. I've never heard of a guitar neck being affected by being hung this way; they are pretty solidly constructed. If it's only an aesthetic thing, I'd leave it alone. It would be possible to redress things a little, without taking the wall mount down, by winding a piece of cloth onto one side of the mount, as packing, to have the guitar 'plumb'; I'd surely not bother. Hope this helps. Edited November 16 by Dad3353 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric R. Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 Thanks! I think the piece of cloth solution wouldn’t even be necessary, it’s that minimal. Good to know its probably nothing to fret about (heheh). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
