Using the Ernie Ball Guitar Wall Hanger is easy. First, decide where you want to hang it on your wall at home or in the studio. Then, attach the hanger securely according to the included instructions. When placing your guitar or bass, gently rest the neck just below the headstock on the non - slip yoke. Make sure the instrument is balanced and stable. For safety, don't hang instruments heavier than 15 lbs. Keep the hanger clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth from time to time. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the non - marring materials.
