I am looking for Plans and/or Ideas for storing / displaying my guitars. I need to get them out of the open air since I live on the ocean. The environment needs to seal reasonably well and have UV resistant glass. The house is very modern so shaker style is right out. It would need to hold 10-12 Guitars in combination of electric, archtop and acoustic. They all get played, so shadowboxing them is also excluded.
I am vacillating between:
1.) Attached to wall with all in full frontal display under glass doors. Two rows stacked above each other.
2.) Attached to wall with Top row in frontal display under glass doors. Lower level would combination of enclosed behind solid doors (deeper with guitars hung at 45 degrees to the wall) and enclosure for Amp and accessories. (Case storage may or may not be incorporated)
3.) Two freestanding units, each with Glass display (Guitars at 45 degrees) at the top with drawers and case storage below. (This seems clunky to have two identical units might incorporate desk / soundboard between them)
The room it will be in is a combination of Office and home studio. Wall is 12 feet long and 7 foot six inches high. currently seven guitars either hung on wall or on guitar stands. The wood will likely be a combination of maple and walnut. I will build it over the winter.
Any ideas or feedback?
