Solid but not all that safe
I bought a lot of these to wall mount my entire guitar collection.
The hangers are undoubtedly structurally solid. I used some large #5 × 100mm round head screws and 80mm rawlplugs so, they ain't going anywhere.
My criticism is for the rotating retainer ends of the hanger which simply do not rotate enough to safeguard the guitar from being knocked-off the hanger ...... as my cats have proven. It makes little difference whether the guitar head is symmetrical, such as Gibson or, asymmetric such as Fender. Being light acoustic or heavy solid-body makes no difference either.
I now use a velcro strap around each hanger to ensure that my prized guitars do not plummet to their doom.

Managed to drop one guitar
The mechanism works OK in general; I had no problems when using it with a Fender Strat (modern headstock). However, I did have one incident where an acoustic guitar fell down from this holder. It was a small OO-body Guild. I suspect that I placed the guitar on the holder in a slightly tilted angle, and the guitar slowly slid so that it "escaped" the mechanism. This is probably less likely the heavier the guitar is. Thus, I'd like to warn that this holder may not work with all types of guitars and/or headstock shapes.
