Guitar "Closet" picture

Someone on here showed a picture of what looked like a wide clothes closet modified to hold guitars (with guitar racks, lighting, etc).

I can't remember which thread I saw it in. Can you either post it again in this thread, or point me toward the thread that has the picture?

...aw, heck: no reason not to throw this out to everyone:

If you don't store your guitars in the case, how do you store your guitars?

What's your method or plan if you have more than 10 guitars? More than 20? More than 30?

I like the guitar closet, but maybe there's another idea out there.

 
Who needs wallpaper.....Hell who needs drywall when you've got guitars. /emoticons/default_laugh.png

I put it under the heading "social experiment" how long can I go without my wife forcing the issue of finishing the basement.

I like having the guitars readily available to play. I have a humidifier and de-humidifier for the different seasons. Sure they are better protected in a case, but I bought them to play.

Safest in the case. They don't look interesting in there, but they're the safest there...

that reminds me of the rehearsal studio i used to own in charlotte;

we used insulation wrapped in plastic for sound dampening on the walls.

lotsa nice gear, jes!

 
Great ceasers ghost!! Looks more like a music store... /emoticons/default_laugh.png

 
I had a free standing one with wheels built that holds over 20 guitars flat in their cases. I waterproofed the plywood inside and out and had a Dampp Chaser piano humidifier installed in it. Lots of folks here have seen it although I dont know if I ever posted a picture. I mention it because it is free to anyone with a trailer. It has been sitting empty in storage for a few year.

That sounds a lot like one of the corners of Ceeb's music room.

 
We store guitars out on stands or wall hangars. A good wall hanger that is screwed into the studs is totally secure IMO. A good stand is perfectly safe as long as the dogs don't go barreling through the room. I find that it is very handy to have guitars already out and available to play, rather than having to take them out of a case that is stuffed in a closet.

The only guitars in the closet are ones that need to be sold.

However, if I am moving a guitar downstairs from the music room, it goes into a case! I am paranoid of tripping down the stairs or one of the dogs pushing past me and knocking the guitar into a door hinge or other object that would damage it. When I am not in good control of the environment, such as at some practices or shows, my guitars are kept in cases rather than on stands.

You know, I *thought* it was Armitage, because I thought I remembered it when he was talking about his Peavey Vandenberg...but I found that thread, and it looked like Armitage has all his out in the room in guitar stands.

This one had two rows (top/bottom); the room itself was slightly dim, so the warm lighting from the closet made it look like the guitars were on display in a Museum or something. It was beautiful.

...hmmm. Maybe it was when someone mentioned a Mockingbird or Iron Bird.

Gotta do some more searching.

 
Found it.

It was puji:

That's a gorgeous storage closet, IMHO. Gotta have one built like it when we finally settle in one place.

...but I'm enjoying seeing the other options, so keep posting pics!

I started with some cheap run of the mill utility cabinet from a big box store and did up the inside like an Ultracase. The V obviously doesn't fit.

The black smudge on the carpet is child damage, hence the cabinet

Awesome! How difficult would it be for a talentless hack like myself to do something similar? Our study is being converted into a kid's bedroom, so I'm going to need someplace to store by guitars. I've been looking for something like that that I could throw into the corner of our dining room. That way, I won't be leaving my guitars exposed and I also won't be pissing my wife off /emoticons/default_laugh.png
