When guitars are hung does it hold the guitar slightly aloft or will it be straight down on the wall?

It holds the guitar straight, about an inch off of the wall. My kids run through the house and the guitar never hits, just shakes a bit.

It's off the wall by a few inches but parallel to the wall (aka not crooked), so it doesn't touch the wall.

The holder pertrudes from the wall 6in and the guitar hangs straight down so the only time it bumps into the wall is when it is bumped or pushed.

It has 2 holes in the back that slip over a screw head. To hold it more steady I applied two small circular Velcro sticky backs towards the bottom to hold it more securely against the wall. It makes it easier to use and it don't bang against the wall. I really like it. I would purchase another if and when needed.

Im sure it depends on the body of your guitar. My acustic 12 string is a half inch from the wall but mt eletric bass is 2 inches from the wall.

Not at all. The role rests against the wall on the back side which stabilizes it. I am very happy with it.

Yes. I rotate guitars on it, one of which is a Strat. If you can't anchor the stand in a stud, be sure you get dry wall hardware (I used 40-lbs.). It works really well and I get lots of compliments on it.

Yes, it can hang straight up side down. I do it all the time. Depending on your condition and fitness level, if you do decide to hang straight upside down, make sure to have a spotter around just in case you are not strong or flexible enough to bring yourself back up to the upright position.

It depends on the angle of the guitar neck. My acoustic sits about 3.5 inches from the wall. The length of the unit (from the wall) is 6 inches. The guitar neck is held between 4.75 and 6 inches from the wall in a slight upward angle.

Its a free standing piece of furniture. When they say it secures easy to wall I think they are assuming that it may be put on carpet which can be an uneven surface. If it seems uneven then you might want to secure it to wall so it doesn't fall over. My son has it on carpet and it doesn't need to be secured.

Yes. I have a concert and a tenor and it holds them fine. It holds the small headstocks fine with no adjustment needed.

It can be completely loose and it will still hold it will just be really flimsy. Mine currently is hanging on a ceiling and I have it loose enough to where I can turn the speaker very easily

The tubing is adequately padded but your guitar finish is still not safe. This rack doesn't hold your guitar in a stationary position. Lacking a proper restraint, it frequently falls into guitars standing next to it with damage resulting.

I agree with Peter's assessment. It's fine if your guitars are "players" but I wouldn't use this for a prized guitar in perfect condition. To put it bluntly, this stand is ok for simple storage where space precludes using regular stands, but it does not hold guitars very securely like some of the "vault" cases you'll see pro's use on tour.

Pretty simple; it needs at least 3 points to stand on its own, the shorter leg tilts the stand back and keeps the guitar from falling forward, and naturally keeps he neck in its' holder.

Upon seeing your question I took my classical guitar and put it up there. The Hercules holds it perfectly.

My daughter has it hanging from the wall. I have held it upside down and seems to work fine.

No, it won't fall out; however, eventually it will become weak from hanging and wont be as effective. My suggestion is to find a way to allow the instrument to lay flat.
