K&M 16240 Guitar Holder

I bought 2 of these and the result was not exactly what I expected. The holder is well fabricated, sturdy, it won't break, it will hold the weight of almost any guitar. My problem is that it's not that good for very thin necks like my MIM telecaster. The 2 rubber covered studs that hold the instrument rotate downward to accommodate the width of your neck and the weight of the instrument is enough to keep them grasping it. The problem is that the width of the telecasters neck is just a couple millimeters wider than the minimum space between the 2 studs so it ends up sliding from the side where the tuning pegs are and not only moving the pegs and messing the tuning but the instruments ends up hanging and doing pressure on the first (low E) tuning peg. I don't think this holder would be good for a mandolin eather, not enough weight to make the studs grasp.

For the rest of my guitars (Ibanez's, Les Pauls etc.) it works perfect.

Living in an apartment with difficult walls, I wanted a guitar hanger with a large backplate. This is about the biggest I've found. It's plastic, but it's very tough plastic, and the rotating grip works well, although it's probably too narrow for wider necks like 6 string basses, 8 string guitars etc.

Main drawbacks - the installation instructions are only in German, it doesn't come with any screws or wall plugs, and the back panel is moulded rather than flat, so you can't attach Dual Lock or similar to it and attach it easily to a flightcase for temporary use without screws.
