@Mickey O You should send us a picture when you’ve completed your mando / uke closet!

Thanks for this Julie! I have a cedar wardrobe I am currently storing instruments in and I am going to just make a couple of these with parts on hand to store mando’s and uke’s.

Neat idea – would be concerned about strength of the hanging rail though – Les Pauls and Fenders ain’t lightweight One would be ok, or one plus an acoustic, but more than that… Ooer – crash!

I doubt whether the weight of a hanging guitar will exert significant stress on the neck, although it might help to counteract the more than 100 pounds of pull exerted by a set of steel strings during their constant effort to make both ends of the guitar meet in the middle. But I’d really worry about scratching from buttons and zippers with this setup.

I was always told that for high quality guitars they should NEVER be hung by the neck. It warps the wood. The best are floor stands…

I agree! The guitar-only/Uke-only closet is the way to go. If only one could also cram a humidifier, amp, and some snacks in a closet too….

This is an awesome idea! However, I’d be concerned about the the string ends on the tuning heads snagging my clothes.
