starting to trip over guitars. anyone have a nice plan for a rack? a friend suggested hanging them on wall from a chair rail, but not sure how they'd attach to it. thoughts?

Just put two photos of simple rack on my page. 4"x3/4" beech board (old shelf) 30" long, foot added at each end,
4"x2 1/2" spacers screwed and glued to the top. Holds 8 cigar box guitars.I've now made 12 cbg's so I should have made it longer
the one with the 2 bendable prongs doesnt work. i have 2 and i flipped a a 2" cbg upside down on one and it doesn't hold the guitar firmly. you'd have to custom make a piece to go where the bottom would be. the reason is that the guitar wants to spring forward slightly from unbalanced length but not far enough for the neck to hit the wall. you could add a thicker block to the hanger but that requires extra screws. i made one similar to the hang em' high brand and it works perfectly plus it looks better.
I kind of like my collection of string-swings for more conventional stuff. The leather thong thing would probably be the best solution for the headstock style on many of these CBG's and it fits right in with the DIY style common here. At least one creative individual here has styled headstocks with a s-shaped hook built in too, but I cant find the pic right now.

Hi, all:
Check out my blog http://totalrojoguitars.blogspot.com/ for a look at hangers I make for myself, and sell to those who are interested.

I suppose this would work since cbgs are pretty light weight.
