I think I’ve banged more guitars taking them out of their cases than off the wall. Maybe I’m just clumsy.
I guess wall displays can be a bit boastful, but I am proud of my display. I did it for me, not anyone else. Most of our guests never go upstairs to see them.

I keep all my acoustics in cases, too dry here most of the year. I always have several electrics out though.

I bet that Marshall keeps the acoustics nice and limber even stored in their cases.

I use these since I have a room with limited square footage. Mounting them to the wall was an idea. Glad I didn't because it looks like I'll be moving soon. |

Ya know... I can't help feeling like the wall and the back of that tayor is covered in velcro and you threw it against the wall
I may have an overactive imagination

It's a personal preference, I understand those who choose to hang them on the wall.
My choice is to case them. My husband and I have built 2 oak cabinets to case all the instruments. Quick, easy access and they are safe. The music room, as well as the whole house, is humidity controlled. Love my cozy music room.

I have eight guitars and a fiddle. All in stands and some on the interior walls. Not only are they accessible, I also consider them works of art and conversation pieces. Blues |

You forgot stands. I keep two on the wall and five on stands. I'm fortunate to live in a state that has higher humidity. I also like the fact I can just grab a guitar and play for five minutes (one example) while I'm waiting for my daughter to get ready for school. If I had to take them in and out of case my playing time would be cut in half.

Living in "earthquake country" means my guitars really NEED to live in their cases. I'd probably do that anyway as it keeps them properly protected AND humidified at all times. I'll never understand those who say leaving it out (or on a wall) is "easier". It's a 10 to 15 second process maximum to open a case and take out a guitar. If "seeing" it makes you want to play more then just put the case (with the guitar inside) in an obtrusive location and you'll see it all the time.

I only have two guitars but I keep them in their cases. I use a guitar frequently during the course of the day and I'm quite happy to take it out of its case and put it away again. It takes about 20 seconds at most.

I’d be delighted to hang mine on the wall...if humidity wasn’t an issue. But it is much of the year here. So I keep them in their cases in a case rack. Takes about 10 second to get them out so I can play. No biggie...

I guess earthquakes would a good reason not to hang guitars on the wall. Although if you use a hercules hanger with the flaps that effectively lock the guitar in place and you have the thing mounted to a stud, any earthquake that would knock that off the wall would probably have large pieces of house falling into the case as well - I'm not sure you can protect against ALL worst case possibilities. But to each their own. When I need to keep a guitar in a case, I do. But when i don't, I'd absolutely rather not...

I keep my electrics on the wall. As others have mentioned, this keeps them of reach of the kids. But I also like the ease of access (I find I play them more) and appreciate the aesthetics of it. I keep my acoustics in their cases for humidity control. They are out for the photo but live in their cases when not being played:
