I was thinking to hang my guitars on the wall. I'm concern about the humidity level in Malaysia that will cause the padding on the mount to break.

Will the mount be more lasting if I get those branded ones like Hercules? Or should i settle for guitar racks?

I don't mind drilling holes on the wall to mount the guitars but I wouldn't want to keep drilling new holes and patch up the old holes whenever i got to change new mounts. It will spoil the look of the wall.

The idea of hanging the guitar on the wall already spoil the wall look. Why bother the holes?

With high humidity, the guitar will collect dust and stick on its surface. Why need to hand like in the shop?

Actually i wanted to hang the guitar to highlight the feature wall

example:

how about like this?

is it ok to expose guitar to air like that? i tot in the long run humidity will damage it..

then again most guitars in malaysia are placed on a guitar stand in the open with almost questionable environmental conditions.

unless the guitars are in woh fatt, most guitar shops got aircon which usually means lower humidity...

i dont think enough tho

even then, most of us combat humidity by throwing a few silicone packs into a hard case. not like that is any effective too

i mean at home.

in the shop is exception since it's been temperature controlled.

thats why u buy good guitars with seasoned wood...not some chibai model
plus thats also why i dont really own acoustics, too much hassle.
none of my electrics have had warped necks etc before.

you'd be surprised, i tried to control my guitar humidity, its very hard, in hard case oso like 60-70. also most shops have wide open spaces with people walking in and out, and their aircon is not on 24/7, so at night humidity will go up.

most shops are actually very very bad at taking care of their guitars, that time i wanted to buy a martin, went to GC, the guy said eh wait the action a bit high. not thinking twice he adjusted the truss rod. my heart was skipping a beat at each turn. he was owh, dont worry its ok, its ok.

eletrics are ok la, tho ive noted some stories of *cough* fenders *cough* getting a bit under the weather due to the humidity

You dont want your guitars to be exposed to humidity by hanging them on a wall for long term. Your hardware will get rusty....entire guitar coated with thick dust and makes your strings rust.

To solved the humidity problem, get urself a nice and suitable size dehumidifier.

For the first round it may take a few days to dry your guitar back to its factory condition. After that, running 8 hours once a week will keep your acoustic in good shape.
