I love those guitar hook goodies. Do you know how much they cost and where you can get some?

I'd love to hear that 12 string!

I love those guitar hook goodies.

They are the Proel ones Bothners imports. You should be able to get them from any store, even if they have to order them from MD (Musical Distributors). I think the last two I bought were R70 or R80 each. Nice padding and three holes for bolting to the wall, so they are secure. No PVC in the padding, so they are safe for nitro finishes. The only thing with them is you have to be careful with a Tele, as the headstock is so narrow, there's a chance it slips through if you are careless - that's true of most hangers though.

I'd love to hear that 12 string!

It's not bad sounding since I changed the high output stock pickups for a set from GFS. Not quite a Ric, but the huge neck and small body are nice.

hmmmmm looks beautifull, having them hangup tho - dont you have issues with corrossion/rust etc..? or dust a little duster just do the trick? REason i ask is because i wanted to get hooks aswell but my 1 guitar that stands without a case gets abused from the elements compared to my cased guits. (altho i am in blouberg area)

Never had any problems - they just need dusting if I don't play one for a while. I probably wouldn't do it if I lived closer to the sea. But they are all in good condition and I favour chrome hardware, so there's nowhere for the rust to start. I also work/play (basically live) in the same room, so temperature and humidity is usually within good range for the guitars.

I'll do you one for about R25K. That's my "go to" guitar at the moment with a few changes from the pic (which was taken a year and a half ago - a loooongg time for a guitar I own).

It's like this now:
