Abstract: The guitar hanger apparatus is for use in hanging a guitar or like stringed instrument from a clothes rod such that the instrument hangs vertically below the rod. The hook for hooking the apparatus on the rod curves downwardly into a transition. The transition flows into the reverse curl. The reverse curl extends below and a distance beyond the hook back side. The horizontal is connected to a bottom of the reverse curl. The vertical affixed to the horizontal is thereby positions the padded v-member, which supports the neck and headstock of the instrument, below the hook and hence the rod.
