Does it harm the necks to hang for extended times? I should ask, does it hurt them to ever be hung, even for short times? When hanging them, should I take the tension off the strings? What else should I be cautious of when hanging the guitars? One thing that I did do, was to add some soft felt to the wall, where the guitar might touch when being hung up.
I love the look of the guitars displayed on the walls, and find that people are much more likely to play them, when all they have to do is reach out and grab one, as compared to digging out and opening a case. I sure don't want to damage them though.
We grow too soon old, and too late smart.
