Default Hanging your guitar/leather strap

My bias, of course ...just wondering.

In the bottom picture I posted, (in the original post)the M36 in the back of the cabinet is indeed in a String Swing traditional yolk style hanger. It simply has a leather strap on it, because they change places in the cabinet as I rotate them out to play. I have 2 of these climate controlled cabinets that are holding 5 total guitars - I found I had to do the leather strap thing in order to fit more guitars in the cabinets. If I could find a hanger that mounted to the top of the cab and hanged vertically downward, I would use it - but it has the be really short. I know the leather isn’t elegant but no one but me sees it anyway of course, I could just build 2 more cabinets but I’m too lazy to do it! I know some will say I’m silly, just keep them in the cases, but I don’t play outside my basement and the cases just go into storage. Thank you everyone againIMG_9882.jpg
