Can I Trust this Guitar Wall Hanger?
I just ordered some of these hangers for my four guitars to make my room look really cool 
I’ll trust it with 3 of my cheaper guitars
fender acoustic
johnson acoustic
peavey raptor electric
but I’m kinda scared to hand my $600 Shecter Tempest custom on one..

hang, not hand
When you screw it to the wall, try to locate it over a stud. Then the screws will lock into the wooden structure of the room and you won’t need to use the inserts shown in the picture.
In residential construction in the US, wall studs are generally spaced at 16 inch intervals. You might be able to put them all on studs, but at least get one mounted that way for your heavier/expensive guitar. I’m sure it will hold just fine.
BTW, you can usually find the wall stud by knocking on the wall to hear the difference in sound (more solid), or by looking closely for the little depressions where the screws holding the drywall were spackled over.
peace
