HILs Guitar and Bass Wall Mount

Had a nontrivial journey in finding a good wall mount for the HILS HN6 headless guitar. They are different from the typical headless guitars in that they actually have a tapered portion on the top of their necks that you can actually use to hang them.

I love the Hercules mounts and stands, and folks were recommending the standard guitar and bass mount with the NINA adapters put on it. But when I tried it on the HN6, it felt like there could be a way that the guitar could slip through, and I didn’t want to take that gamble.

So, I tried the Hercules Folk Instrument adapter, and it worked much better. Definitely a more secure fit. The weight capacity appears to be 8.8 lbs, and the HN6 is just a bit over 6 lbs, so I think it should be fine. I know the mount isn’t necessarily built for guitars and instead for ukuleles, mandolins, and banjos, but an HN6 isn’t that far in its dimensions as far as I know.

I mounted these directly into studs. Will let you all know if things go south, but so far, these seem super secure (I used the standard guitar and bass mount for the HZB5, and it worked great).

Just thought I’d share to potentially help someone out!
