I don't trust drywall anchors, at all. If I can't secure it with a screw into a wall stud, I won't secure anything heavy to the wall. I have even removed drywall, installed wood framing and replaced the drywall in order to hang a heavy flatscreen. It was a little work, but I know without a doubt that the tv won't be coming down, even in an earthquake situation. I am very sorry you had to learn this the hard way- such a beautiful guitar.
Buy a 2x8 in what length you need. If you can’t find a nice piece of walnut, mahogany etc. Go to your local lumber yard & buy douglas fir. Use a router on the edges or whatever look your going for & then stain & varnish it. Screw or lag bolt to studs & then hang the wall hangers on the wood. This is not rocket science, everyone can do this.
@@gregorioh7034 this will greatly reduce the chances of a guitar hanger pulling from the wall. and introduces the chance that the entire fucking row is going to fall in one go. every guitar you hang from that 2x8 adds more weight pulling on it. the individual hangers have a weight rating, we know what they can hold. what's the rating on that 2x8? yeah, it doesn't have one. if my guitars are out of their cases, they're stored on multi stands, on the floor, against the wall. it doesn't make them safe from damage. it DOES make them safe from dropping 6 feet onto the floor. the odds of that happening is precisely 0%.
Push-in anchors are light duty. You need an anchor that goes through the whole thickness of the drywall then butterflies open on the other side. I was manager of a glass business for years, and we mounted lots of heavy mirror using through anchors without a problem. Hanger base plates should be horizonal not vertical. Mounted vertically all the weight and stress is being levered into the top screw.
Hearing that noise would have freaked me out. Glad the dogs were okay and that beautiful guitar was repairable! FYI, I'm 72, double amputee, wheelchair bound and decided in the past couple of months to get back into learning guitar. I wouldn't normally have continued listening but was curious to hear the guitar and I must say I really enjoyed your song and the guitar. Good stuff and keep up with your interesting content.
I’m a builder/carpenter. Never ever hang a guitar using ‘drywall anchors’! Always hit a wall stud or run long timber strips fixed to wall studs then mount Hercules on them. Redo that wall before everything falls
Timely! I use those same Hercules hangers and am in the midst of remaking my music room and deciding what mix of hangers, multi hangers, and floor racks I want to use. I’ve always been concerned about this and am leaning towards majority on a floor rack vs hanging. I realize all we have to do is find studs and do it right, but still just for peace of mind I’m leaning towards floor racks. What a fall and of all the guitars too, this is one in particular you obviously hate to see fall. Glad it held up well!
Guitar is looking amazing! Awesome that you were so inspired by the event with the guitar back to record something! Sounds good! As others have said, it's a lot safer to get a peice of wood you like the look of, get it finished, and secure that to the studs in the wall, then you secure the hangars into that. I'm not sure of the construction of your place. Is it "stick framed" like the US? If not, you'll need to use appropriate securing methods to the wall structure instead. In Germany we lived in a place where the walls were all standstone, so we had to drill and use stone anchors for things. If your walls are concrete, that might explain what happened with the anchors, they were put in but could not get deep enough or expand and just hit the wall weaking the drywall in the process.
Happy to hear your repairs worked well. I tend to relax once a new guitar has its 1st ding. Then I know it is mine. I care more about how they play and sound than if they look perfect. I don't own case queens. I bought a vintage 1972 Aria Pro II MIJ TA70 guitar with a broken headstock repair that was not pretty but was solid, smooth to the hand and played and sounded great. Player grade so a great price. It is one of the best sounding humbucker instruments I have, wife likes it's sound better than ALL my other 'lectrics with factory DiMarzio Hot Rails IIRC. It is a better instrument than my 2014 ES335. A nice piece of hardwood anchored to the studs. then mount guitar holders to that. Rock solid. I have 18 hooks ( the limiting # for my allowed guitar herd) in a 10x10ft (3x3m) room but there is solid wood behind the drywall as it was an addition between the house and a garage so I did not need to do that in this house. 75mm long screws into that solid wall. With your herd I can see why you have a spreadsheet on them.
Yes I don't care too much about dings either. Which is why I guess I'm not a conventional collector. That said, seeing a piece of headstock broken off is heart breaking. Your set up at home sounds really cool. I wish I had the space
I have numerous Hercules hangers and I love them, but I highly recommend against using the screws and dowels they come with. Even for the concrete and brick walls in my home, I always use longer & stronger Spax screws and heavy-duty Fischer dowels.
Yikes. That's scary. As many folks have commented, that type of wall anchor is inadequate. I'm glad that the repair guy was able to do such a great job repairing the damage.
13:44 I can really relate to your song man. And I don’t know the answer. Do you owe the world “the new you?” Or do you keep it to yourself and your close circle and enjoy a smaller, more intimate but more authentic version of interacting with other people? A smaller, but higher quality footprint in life. You have the freedom to make that decision yet you don’t know which way. I really don’t know man but I can relate and sending you positive energy. ❤️
These accidents may happen to all of us. Happened also to me: I dropped (it fell from the wall like yours, I am a bad handyman) a Harley Benton LP-type I bought second hand for about 100 bucks. No big deal. Cheap repairs could be done. But this is one reason (there are many others, especially economic ones) I don't buy expensive guitars. You are lucky, that nothing happened to the strings! lol And of course to the dog. I am an animal lover too, having two cats and two dogs. They always disappear when I play. Well, they can't understand what hell of a player I am. I still love them though. Greetings from Austria! And take care of yourself, your dog and your nice guitars! Like your videos!
As others have probably said, wall anchors into drywall/sheetrock shouldn't be trusted. The guitar hanger should go into a wall stud only. Personally, i keep all my basses on floor racks because even with proper installation into a stud, i don't trust wall-mounts. I have a K&M 17525 Guardian for most of my "regular" basses, and my really nice basses go on Zither Instrument Stands. The K&M is the first multi-rack that i've ever used that securely holds multiple instruments without letting them hit one another and doesn't discolor the finish. And the Zither stands are gorgeous self-standing wood stands that really make showing the instrument a statement. If you are going to use wall hangers and there aren't enough studs, install cross-studs across your wall. That cross-studs need to be mounted into the studs in the wall, and then the guitar racks go into the cross stud. So glad this wasn't more disastrous for you than it was! It could have been so much worse!
I’m selling my three top end guitars and going back to my first guitar which i’ve owned for over 35 years because if and when it gets damaged, I don’t care.
Insane how well he was able to repair it, glad to see it’s back to near mint condition! As an aside, just got my first core model PRS, a carroll blue custom 24, it’s as close to perfect as I imagine a guitar can be
on a guitar of that value your hangers should be anchored into the wall studs, it would be worth your time and piece of mind to have a professional inspect all your wall mounts
You should put a long board on the wall that screws into the studs then put the hangers mounted to the board not dry wall. Even better is to get a slatwall panel or slatwall track. Diamond life makes awesome Aluminium slatwalll tracks. I barelly trust drywall to hold pictures up.
You are fortunate to have such great tech, willing to do the work and excellent at his craft. I’m in one of the biggest most famous cities in the world and I struggle to find a top notch tech who has the time to work on guitars. So I would be upset if something like that happened if I owned high value guitar. I can’t say I know a tech that could do work like that. They would probably laugh and say don’t hang it on the wall next time. I live in a tough city.
I use Hercules wall hangers but they’re all mounted into studs behind the dry wall. It looks like you’re relying on dry wall anchors to hang your investments which I think is a very bad idea. You’re relying on pennies worth of screws and plastic that’s mounted into paper and gypsum. You need to mount them into solid wood that is connected to the supports in your wall
@@ministryofguitar Dry wall will be mounted on studs, you should buy a stud finder and see where the studs are located and look to drill into those only.
@@ministryofguitar the drywall is nailed to the studs. The studs hold up your house. Mount the hangers to the studs, or mount a stout piece of lumber to the studs and then mount the hangers to that
I live in Canada. I have about 8 guitars and that's all I really need. They are Gibsons and Strats and a tele and a Martin D41 custom shop. I honestly think you have too many guitars. I know you obviously can afford them but I think it's best to love a select few. Even rock stars like Joe Bonamassa. He owns every expensive guitar and amp under the sun. You don't need that many. It's an obsession really. It took me years to get the good quality amos and guitars that I have now and even what I do have, it's hard to play them all to justify having them. When I was young I had only a Martin D18, but that was everything to me. I found our now, that having all these guitars and amps doesn't make me as happy. I do love them, but buying tonnes of pedals doesn't matter really. I have so much stuff I never even use. Thousands of dollars spent for what, just to collect dust now. Have just a few things and enjoy them. I think I was always buying all this stuff to fill a void in myself. Realized one day that none of it mattered as much as when I only owned one Martin . Just some thoughts on gear acquisition.
I wish I had you as a friend here in Canada. I am old now but still love playing guitar. Would love fir you to show me how to invest and make money. Love your channel.
I have always used better dry wall anchors than the one's supplied with String Swing wall hooks. when I could not fasten the hook into a wall stud. I am no dry wall expert, by any means. but, that appears to be the point of failure. the anchor lost its hold on the wall...somehow.
Always use stud mounted hangers. If you need to use space more one thing I do is mount a strong wood board to the wall into the studs then you can securely screw the hangers into that without needing to adhere to the spacing of studs.
Aw hell, that'll all buff right out. As well as all these stud suggestions, there are metal, not plastic, screw-in molys that are very strong in dry wall. I've yet to drop anything off even the cheap hangers, although I only buy 7lb & less guitars....
I had a friend who was convinced by another to sell his G&L and get a good deal on a Les Paul. This friend would do all the work and said the Gibson did not have any dings or scratches. So my buddy went ahead with the deal but when his friend delivered he had to apologize because he dinged the guitar when obtaining it. The friend thought it no big deal, but my buddy did the whole transaction based on the guitar having no dings.
Thats too bad, sorry. Ive had it happen, but luckily it was with my old Danelectro which seem to be indestructible. If you cant screw the hanger into a stud, use butterfly/toggle bolts. They hold really well on drywall. Let us know what you do with it.
If your not a multi multi multi millionaire or billionaire you have no business buying $10,000 guitars. If you have that much money, when something like this happens it’s not a big deal.
You used the wrong drywall anchors. In general you want drywall anchors that are metal and that actually screw into the drywall. They are firmly seated before you drive a screw into them. There are forms of plastic anchors that are better than the ones you used which would have expanded when you drive the screw in there, but I wouldn't recommend those unless you have experience with Building Trades tasks and would like, be able to feel if that thing is biting. ... for a $10,000 guitar, I would find studs and drive the screws into studs.
It just occurred to me that you might have a whole wall of $100,000 worth of guitars hanging by those red plastic anchors, take those down now they all need to be remounted properly
Just a thought but an instrument that expensive I would have in a special display case in my music room like a standing glass cabinet. not the kind that hang on the wall. glad the repair turned out well 🍺🇨🇦
I think you have to gig this guitar now. It's no longer a collector guitar, so the only way for it to get the guitar Heaven is if you gig the crap out of it. Tell the guys are getting the band back together for a Private Stock Tour.
I will cry with you. It has happened to me in my years of life with three guitars. Once because of my own fault and twice because of drunks at a mini concert. And my second basic guitar, a Kohler or Köhler, has a mini sagging neck due to too much heat. This is or should be the life of ... let's say active guitars. That hurts anyway
Great video! First off, get rid of every one of those guitar hangers. Figure something else out. You’re playing Russian roulette. A really good song, did you write it? Nice guitar playing. A couple of (heartfelt) criticisms. Get more aggressive with the vocals, like you mean it. You have a decent voice. Guitar playing was pretty good. The solo at the end could have played better with the chord progression. Just my two cents. Bravo!
Oh no mate! What a disaster, happy (kinda) ending notwithstanding. I'd have been absolutely gutted... wouldn't have taken a few minutes to get over it, more like a few millenia 😭
Dropping a guitar is not the worst thing that can happen to a guitar…. It’s airport baggage handlers throwing your guitar onto the plane loading belt like they’re throwing a corn bag and the airport, baggage handling contractors and airline denying it even happened despite clear video of the handlers doing extreme damage. Try sorting that out .. at the other end of your trip. If you drop your guitar at home .. it doesn’t come close.
Uh. So sorry it happened. But I guess the right way is to never treat your INSTRUMENT as an INVESTMENT. If my guitar falls and something chipped off - well, shit - natural relicing just occurred. How can you play the hell out of your guitar while afraid of scratching it or otherwise ruin your Pristine Condition? Stop commodifying music and music instruments. They’re just instruments. Are you afraid of scratching your screwdriver???
It’s worthless now. But tell you what! I have a single cut 594 SE I’ll trade you for it. Get you a perfect brand new guitar for your garbage. I won’t even charge you.
I don't trust drywall anchors, at all. If I can't secure it with a screw into a wall stud, I won't secure anything heavy to the wall.

I dropped my $100.00 used Ibanez. It got a couple more dings, and I don't give a shit.
Funny cuz yours is a pos and I don't think anyone cares either lol
I highly recommend using a different type of drywall anchor. Those anchors pulled right out of the wall.
Ouch. I feel your pain - sorry to see this. Best of luck with the repairs!

I'd NEVER trust a guitar wall hanger!! Put them in a rack stand, or in a case if they are not getting played.
I mean Paul always says that it’s typical in a lifecycle of an instrument to be damaged. It’s not the end of the world tbh
I used wing type bolts that go all the way through the dry wall. They can not pull out with out pulling a bib hole out of the dry wall
I have always used better dry wall anchors than the one's supplied with String Swing wall hooks. when I could not fasten the hook into a wall stud. I am no dry wall expert, by any means. but, that appears to be the point of failure. the anchor lost its hold on the wall...somehow.

$10K guitar on a $20 wall hanger makes no sense. Maybe do a video on installing something more substantial to hang your collection.
Great song,especially lyrics!!!!
Thank you
They're made to be played, you just naturally reliced it. At least it wasn't a 59 burst headstock amputatation.

it's Gworx. Easy to find on instagram. instagram.com/gworxsg/
@@ministryofguitar I think it's worth pinning/linking! People new to the Singapore guitar scene wouldn't know what to search for?
Great video! First off, get rid of every one of those guitar hangers. Figure something else out. You’re playing Russian roulette. A really good song, did you write it? Nice guitar playing. A couple of (heartfelt) criticisms. Get more aggressive with the vocals, like you mean it. You have a decent voice. Guitar playing was pretty good. The solo at the end could have played better with the chord progression. Just my two cents. Bravo!
Thanks. And yes, appreciate the feedback on the song. Makes a lot of sense
Relate much Brother
Thank you
Plastic inserts for screws you use are not not secure. You need something more substantial, especially on a $10K guitar.
Cool 😊
How could you paaji I'm so upset with you 😱
Oh no mate! What a disaster, happy (kinda) ending notwithstanding. I'd have been absolutely gutted... wouldn't have taken a few minutes to get over it, more like a few millenia 😭
Dropping a guitar is not the worst thing that can happen to a guitar…. It’s airport baggage handlers throwing your guitar onto the plane loading belt like they’re throwing a corn bag and the airport, baggage handling contractors and airline denying it even happened despite clear video of the handlers doing extreme damage. Try sorting that out .. at the other end of your trip. If you drop your guitar at home .. it doesn’t come close.
That sounds like a nightmare
There is no guitar new guitar worth over $3000. No way no how. $10,000 for a new guitar is disgusting.
Do you live in 1972?
You user the wrong fixings. Those are for a solid wall.
The only reason I checked in was to see what doughnut pays 10,000 for a guitar let alone a PRS .
I generously tip my luthier. I hope you did too.
Im sorry for your loss. Im happy to buy that piece of junk now for$100.
My comment is not displayed.
should have left it alone! people (not me) pay very good money to have their guitars reliced 😋
i dont like wall hangers for that reason.
Yeah but they increase access
Send it to prs they can fix it for you, hello sir

Uh. So sorry it happened. But I guess the right way is to never treat your INSTRUMENT as an INVESTMENT. If my guitar falls and something chipped off - well, shit - natural relicing just occurred. How can you play the hell out of your guitar while afraid of scratching it or otherwise ruin your Pristine Condition? Stop commodifying music and music instruments. They’re just instruments. Are you afraid of scratching your screwdriver???
Sorry bhai, moye moye ho gaya
It’s worthless now. But tell you what!
I have a single cut 594 SE I’ll trade you for it. Get you a perfect brand new guitar for your garbage. I won’t even charge you.
In my opinion, it's a sign from the gods that you're no longer worthy of the guitar, and you should send it to me. Should I give you the address?
haha, yes I only ship via the Dream Express
Dont buy 10k guitars and no problem
Hello I'm happy to be the first to comment!
Damn it! You beat me!
No guitar is worth 10G's.
