Can the mount be rotated so the holes are in line with the stud? I would never hang my guitar with sheetrock anchors.

What I did was I lined it up with the studs, I used black sheetrock screws went into the studs, and in some instances you couldn't tighten the hook so it was straight so I left it a 1/4 turn loose. No biggie it still holds the guitar, I also noticed when you tighten them by hand you can't get it perfect, but after you screw them in the studs you can get a bit more out of them, what I did was I screwed them to a scrap piece of 2x4, tighted them up to see if it wold line up then unsrewed them, and screwed them to my wall. I also noticed , you need to have the top screw hole 7.5 inches from the ceiling minimum, or you wont be able to hook like a bass on it.

I bought a board much like a wood fence plank and sanded and stained it, then screwed the hangers to that and bolted that to the studs in the wall.You can rotate the bases of the wall hangers to be be two up and one down or one up and two holes down.

You could, but you will have to let hanger be a little loose in the base, which shouldn't be a problem. Hope that helps.

Yes you can. I shot Gorilla Glue in the holes where the screws go into the wall just to make sure my guitars don't fall down. I have done this with 9 hangers short ones and the extended ones. It has been a few years with them, so far so good.

Yes, bolt it to the studs and it should be great...........anchors in the wallboard itself will NOT work!

Again...I would not use these to mount any of my guitars unless I did some type of reinforcement board behind the three screw mount. There is another type of hercules mount that looked sturdier but I ended up going an entirely different route on my guitars. I think you should google reviews for this particular mount by people who own instruments before you make this decision.

It´s not too easy to rotate them because they´re too tight, i mean, they fit very close to the holes, if you have enough cable length you could try to. I never tried because i´m affraid i could unplug the cables. Mounting holes allow them to be rotated with safely if you not screw them to the maximum.

The mount articulates (Turns) at two places Therefore it can be swung to either side of center or can be left straight out from the wall directly inline with the stud on which it is mounted. I mounted ours more to the right and then swung it left to line up exactly where I wanted it. It gives you a great deal of leeway when deciding which stud to mount it on. You can go approximately 16 inches (Stud spacing) either way and still line it up as you want it.

I don't think so. I gifted this to my grandson so it is not in my possession. The boards, if you will, are hinged at the bottom. There is a ledge at the bottom of the chalk board, as I recall. Could you take the screws out an mount backwards? I don't know. I will say this is a quality piece and has stood up well now from nearly a year's use.

Technically it could be mounted that way ~ the hook on the end seems curved enough. You would have to use better drywall anchors than it comes with it. Because is it is adjustable however I wouldn't count on it to hold much weight as it would depend on the tightness of the set screw to keep the end from slipping out. Appearance wise it would probably be acceptable looking.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall.The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Can the bar be turned so that the wall mount is on the side or end of the bar to allow for different mounting configurations? (For example inside a window encasement & other on a wall.)

It's all an advantage! Because the holes are inline with one another, you can attach Hercules directly to a stud to insure holding power. You would never want to attach your guitar holder to drywall alone. That a heart-breaker waiting to happen. What you need to do is ask around to see if you know someone with a stud-finder (aka stud sensor). Once you determine where the studs are, mark both sides and place Hercules right in the middle. Get some 2 1/2" wood screws from a local hardware roughly the same diameter if not the same of the screws from Hercules package. Drill pilot holes with a bit diameter smaller than the screw diameter through the drywall and into the stud. Put up Hercules, hang your little brother on it and he he doesn't fall your good!

Yea you can rotate it. You just need to loosen the stud screw thinger and then move it and retighten it.

No, because it needs to be upright and not flat against the pin. Best to use the mounts and drill it.

mine is mounted as shown in foto, with "U" shaped bend slightly down to keep roll on, did miss stud, followed direction for sheet rock, real strong.

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

Hello JW,Yes, you may rotate either mounting brackets.Thank you for your question. Taylor W.VIVO

I have mine installed horizontally, and it would be no issue mounting it vertically either. As long as itmounted "between" two studs, you could almost mount it anywhere.(and it sounds very good also)
