I used a live Edge cedar end cut (from a project project) but any wood will do. Lumber is fine as well. Dimensional lumber can be distressed to appear live edge like. I sanded the piece smooth and then applied a stain.

Assemble the Hanger

Now you can attach the tool hooks wherever you want on the wood. Leave enough space between hooks so the guitars don’t hang on top of each other.
Drilling a pilot hole for especially large screws is recommended but not necessary to finish this project.

Add Guitars!

Load it up! The plastic coating on the hooks protects the guitar bodies from damage and they look great!
