with quality & care.
It didn’t take long for people to take notice, and Paul realized his creation’s potential. In 1987, he founded String Swing and, with the help of his family and a machinist friend, began manufacturing parts and assembling hangers in his home. Musicians raved about the hanger’s secure deep cradle design, and as the business outgrew his basement, Paul sold his farm and moved to Ontario, Wisconsin to build a machine shop and pursue his new dream.
Today, String Swing builds the strongest, safest, and most accessible instrument displays on the market – trusted to hold over 10 million guitars worldwide. Our catalog has expanded to instruments of all kinds, from strings to woodwinds and percussion. Still proudly family-owned and American-made in our Midwest facility, we continue to refine our designs, provide excellent customer service, and uphold the highest standards of quality. From our humble beginnings to today, our goal remains the same: to build convenient, dependable, and beautifully crafted instrument displays that encourage musicians to pursue their passion.
The SW5RL-K comes with two 24" aluminum panels, which join together before mounting to the wall.
Our slatwall rails hold up to 50 lbs per stud. Each individual hanger can hold 15 lbs.
Our slatwall panels can hold a variety of stringed instruments, but you will have to make sure that you have the right cradles for whichever instrument you're looking to hang.
Type "yoke" into the search bar on our website, and look for the listing that says "⅝" bolt length". From there, choose the appropriate yoke that matches your instrument or the width of its neck.
Our composite material will not eat into the nitro of your guitar like most foams and rubbers do. Fender, Gibson, and Martin all use our products in their showrooms and at trade shows on both their standard and high-nitro finished guitars. However, there are some things that are out of our control that prevent us from putting an unconditional guarantee that no marking will ever occur. Please read more in our Nitrocellulose Statement.
If you have more questions, give us a call at 1-888-455-6628 and ask for Travis. He'll gladly discuss any nitrocellulose-related questions in further depth.
Absolutely! Our guitar holders are designed with a pivoting feature that adjusts to headstocks of all shapes, ensuring that your instrument hangs completely vertically. We recommend turning the yoke all the way into the fixture and backing it out half a turn, so it can freely pivot to accommodate your instrument's headstock style.
