Mounts = Awesome / Hardware = Broken Guitar, February 25, 2007
Aesthetics:
They look awesome when mounted. I have my two bass guitars hanging side by side and couldn't be more pleased with the look.
Mounting:
The screws that come in the package are worthless, throw them away.
Use Toggle Bolts on the top two holes. I used 1/8" x 2." On the bottom hole, just use the biggest self-tapping screw that will fit through the hole and drive it directly into the stud.
At first, I tried using hollow anchors on the top two holes and the mount started pulling out of the wall. Don't do this, it will end badly.

Hercules To The Rescue !, September 20, 2010
This review is from: Hercules Stands Wallmount Guitar Hanger GSP39WB (Electronics)
I got tired of my guitars laying around in corners so, I bought the first Hercules at a well-known pricey music chain for my Epiphone Les Paul copy. Because it is the heaviest guitar that I own, I figured I would try it first and if it worked out, I would buy a couple more on Amazon.
Well, it worked out!
Be aware that if you know nothing about basic carpentry, the screws and anchors included for installation are NOT suitable for drywall. Brick walls, wood, and concrete ARE suitable and work best.
To hang on drywall the Best method I think is to get either a 2x4, or a 2x6. Paint it up and decorate it however you like. Now, get yourself a stud finder to find studs behind the drywall and visibly mark them with a pencil slightly wider than the 2x you decide to use. Put you 2x up to the stud marks and drill pilot holes for 3 1/2 or 4 inch wood screws. Anchor the 2x to the studs. Now you can secure your hanger(s) to the 2x! Remember to cut the to 2x to the length of your choice!!

Great way to display guitars., March 31, 2010
This review is from: Hercules Stands Wallmount Guitar Hanger GSP39WB (Electronics)
Overall this is a great product for hanging your guitar(s). We bought two to hang an acoustic and electric. The guards close when the weight of the guitar is in the mount and to take you the guitar, just lift a little to take the weight off and voila. The only thing weird is the plate that mounts to the wall. That is a triangle shaped piece and if you're mounting onto a beam (which we recommend) you can only get two screws into a beam, one on top and the one at bottom.
