I just need to double check myself here, and I know this isn't a wood project, but it involves wood, and working with tools...
I am moving the home office / studio to a different room in the house. I need to do a full remodel, flooring, paint, etc... in this room, and among other things, I need to add 2 guitar hangers to hold up my basses off the floor. The space to hang them are beween doors and a corner in the wall, so I am literally going between studs.
I was thinking I could cut access holes in the drywall, and add a 2x4 stretcher between door framing studs, and corner studs, right up against the drywall, then put the drywall back, patch, texture and paint. I was just wondering if there was a better way.
I am using a guitar hook on a walnut block as a hanger. And these are 2 Ibanez Soundgear active basses. (1 4 string SR480, 1 custom 4 string SR500 with EMG pickups and GHS Bass Boomers strings...) FWIW, the SR500 I own is similar in name and neck design only to the current SR500. My SR480 is closer to the current SR500 except that the pickups are Ibanez specific P / J config instead of the dual J config of the new model. I would guess that they weigh in around 20 lbs each. There is a LOT of walnut and maple in them...
