    you need proper guitar hangers .. can get them from any music shop (of course ones which actually do have guitars hangin on walls) ..
    they are like a bracket, and a two pronged fork sticking out .. what you do is, slide the neck down the prongs, till they catch it by the headstock ...but only works for thin electrics ..
    for accoustics ..maybe get a larger hanger and hang the accoustic by its strap :S??

    death_metal_fan oh goody, it's a woody!

    shahrukh's suggestion is good but I definitely would not recommend hanging your guitar on a wall if you live in a major city in India (especially if you live in a dusty neighbourhood). You will not believe the amount of dust your guitar will collect. It's fine to do this abroad where there is less air pollution but in cities like Bombay or Delhi this is a definite no-no.

    Keep your guitar in the case as far as possible. It looks cool outside the case but keep it inside and you will keep it clean and possibly prolong its playability.

    Get a good Guitar Wall Hanger. It's pretty cheap and it will solve your purpose. But beware, the moisture in the wall could really harm your guitar.

    in that case
    paint ur wall blue first:p:

    on a more serious note......i agree with DMF ......dont do it...in some time ur guitar will deffo become unplayable

    well usually once u put the guitar on the wall ... it shoulnt be played ...
    or rather it wont remain in playable state ... :grin:

    otherwise use what alfons and sharukh told ... that thing is used in studios ...
