Exactly, this is for wall-hangers only. I don't imagine that knot would still look like a treble clef at full tension, and it probably won't provide much tuning stability either.
The guitar only has one "up" side, and that's perpendicular to these knots. If it hangs scroll down, the clefs are the right way up, and if it hangs scroll up the clefs are upside down. If the guitar hangs right side up or upside down, the clefs are neither.
I could see there being a lot of valid use cases though. People display guitars a lot and from my admittedly uneducated on the topic search results, it seems like slightly loose from being in tune is the sweet spot for display and storage where full tension or no tension can cause issues over time.
High effort and not functionally beneficial at all, but musicians choose custom aesthetic over functional perfection all the time. Stickers, weird picks, damage, it all adds "flavor"
Guitars should more or less always be in tune. Most guitars have something called a truss rod, which is essentially a metal rod inside of the neck. The point of it is to offset the tension of the strings by introducing a slight bend into the neck. When the guitar is properly set up the tension of the strings and the tension of the truss rod are basically balanced, so everything stays in place. If the strings are loosened, then the truss rod also has to be loosened or else the tension from the strings truss rod will warp the neck.
Basically the way you set it up to play is how you should store it.
This is a case of the tail wagging the dog if ever there was one: sacrificing the tunability, and thus playability, of the guitar, for the sake of some stupidly less-than-useless decoration.
I get what you mean but I still think the cut is just unnecessary. Maybe the instructions are implied, but I feel like it would’ve been a lot more satisfying and clear if he just finished the job in one shot.
Looks nice, but what happens when you tighten the string with the screw upstairs?

If u hang it on a wall its upside down
Oh, so it's just purely for tiktok videos then...
Depends which way up you hang the guitar
Either the guitar is upside down or the key
And it didn't say which one I meant so I'm always right
BAM

What are you on about, you hang guitars by the neck, then the clefs are upside down
You can hang them by the strap or the body too, and then it's your choice which way goes up. Neck down uses less precious lower-wall area.
The only "up" on a guitar is the direction perpendicular to the strings, which points up as you are playing.
Some people hang guitars sideways too, like in playing position. That wouldn't look too bad I don't think.
Your only fault is your humility.
I know, its a burden I must bear with me always
The right or the psychopath way.
It stops looking nice
Oh boy, here comes treble 🙄
You are Bassically correct
Man from that point onward, it's really not that hard to interpret.
Plus, these "Knots" are kinda shit at their job anyway.
Definitely gonna make tuning it an adventure.

E: accidentally wrote strings
Neat. Yeah so wildly impractical.
There are two types of people in the world:

That’s true, I just wasn’t expecting it to jump to the end so fast 😂
For crying out loud
That’s gonna buzz like a motherfucker lol
Cameraman wasn’t helping a lot neither

Editor can't do anything if he doesn't have any material. Also what in this is missing instructions? Its the wrong camera angle so r/killTheCameraMan

fat ass fucking fingers
