Exposes the guitar while keeping it super easy to pick up and play
The hanger looks very nice when mounted with a guitar on it. Without the guitar it's not very decorative so consider how often you'll leave it empty.
The slanted position looks good and hides most of the black metal bar. I originally planned to put the guitar horizontally but this would expose too much of the black metal bar. Moreover, there was no good way to align my particular guitar in that position as the back holder would end up RIGHT on the jack port. Chose the slanted position instead and I'm happy with the result.
The guitar ends up between 7cm - 13cm away from the wall which is actually perfect since you can attach the strap easily to it while it's still hanging. I recommend a strap lock for that reason. While you could just leave the strap on the guitar, I find the look without it cleaner.
There is a little horizontal play in the hanger which comes from the adjustable base. It's stable though. The arms are also a bit wide for my RS 620 but I sometimes use this as a feature to hang the wound instrument cable off of it, too.
The screws that come with the set were annoyingly soft, to the point of being useless. My cordless power screwdriver stripped all three right away. Use some proper screws like Fischer and all will be good.
Note that the description mentions that this set is not suitable for nitro varnish finished guitars. Mine is a satin finish, I hope that will be alright.

Good, but some parts are poor
The wall hangers in and of themselves are great, they are stable and the guitars look great in them, also love that the angle is adjustable. My main issue is with the low quality dowels and screws. Maybe it's just my DIY skills, but the dowels broke immediately after hitting them a few times with a hammer, and the screws strip really easily. Went to a hardware store, bought quality screws and dowels and installation was a breeze.

Best Wall Mount Yet
The Rockstand Guitar Wall Hanger is not the cheapest way to display your guitar but is in my opinion, one of the best.
I use this wall hanger for my most expensive and cherished 70's Fender Telecaster and it looks fantastic. The guitar can be displayed at an angle you want and is secure and most important, safe.
The instructions are clear and it's simple to attach to the wall with correct tools. I did not use the screws and plugs that came with the mount but larger for extra security.
The mount supports the guitar at three points as opposed to two, which is how the V type wall mounts work. Also the mount does not put any pressure on the scarf point (where the fretboard meets the headsock) of the neck, which is the guitars most fragile point.
Pros: How it makes the guitar look when mounted. Security. 3 point support. Quality and price.
Cons: Takes up more wall space than the more common V type.

Excellent hanger
I bought two of these for my home studio. Putting them together is super easy and they are well built. I have an Ibanez artcore semi-hollow in one nad that seems to be the thickest guitar body these will accommodate, which is not a problem for me. Definitely recommended if you want your guitars hung up at any other angle than purely veritcal.

The screws are very bad quality, so I had to use other ones. The design is a bit meh, because the guitar is hanging almost 10 cm. from the wall and it doesn't look as nice as expected.

Very poor flimsy quality
Don't buy this. The quality of the metal is shockingly poor and the parts don't even fit properly. I will never trust this wall hanger with one of my guitars. The metal actually bent when trying to assemble it.
Very, very poor. If it wasn't so much hassle with returns (lots of customs paperwork as I'm outside the EU) I would have demanded a refund. Come to think of it I purchased a 3x guitar stand from the same brand last year and it was also a total piece of junk. I'll definitely remember to avoid this brand in the future. Lesson learned.

Great for headless guitar
I had been using regular guitar wall hangers so far, but recently I got headless guitar. This one is perfect for them.

Great wall hanger
This is a very handy wall hanger for your guitar. It was easy to assemble and to get up on the wall. You can choose the orientation and set the exact angle that you want the guitar to hang at. It seemed sturdy enough when I put it up and its been on my wall with my stratocaster for about a year now. It hasn't come down, so it's all good! Great looking way to showcase a nice guitar.
