yeah i'm trying to avoid the DIY thing even though i could do it and have a full blown woodworking shop in my house lol. i don't mind spending some cash for it but $3k is just NUTS. i figure there must be another company out there with fair prices.

yea.. i just saw the price tag.. i thought you ment insane prices at 1.2k-ish .. but 3.5 is .. i dont know.. he must be smoking crack.

you could also get something like a glass closet for dishes and that fancy stuff wives like to have in the living room and convert it.. but i doubt it will be able to store all of your guitars

if you buy something and DIY it, you can get through under 700 if you ask me, considering you buy a cabinet for 550 .. which is insane ot its own.. even here

Unless you're worried about little ones, why not just use a wall hangar?

I thought of that too but i want a display case that will keep some of the dust off it and also have a light inside so you can show them off.... a store i shop at houses their Gibson Custom shop axes in a nice display case....

Re: Guitar display cabinet....??

i do have kids that come over (my brothers kids) but i have taught them to stay clear of the gear LOL. plus i hide everything in its case when they are on the way over

i mostly want it for keeping them dust free and easy to see and get to. right now i have some on an open rack and they need to be dusted now and again and the rest are in their cases i just want to simplify it and still keep them safe and clean.

If you have to dust 'em, you're not playing them enough.

Re: Guitar display cabinet....??

well it's not like i'm talking 3 guitars here, i have over 20 so they do rotate but sometimes one will sit for a while without getting used. that's also a reason i rather the display cabinet so they will all be right there out of cases easy to grab and play instead of having to dig them out of the case or dust them off first LOL.

also, i do play alot, a minimum of 1hr a day i would say. most times more than that. since i work out of my house i tend to have a guitar on my lap as i'm at the computer doing my work (yeah lots of work gets done hahaha). heck i have one on my lap right now that i was just playing.

Finally someone like me! You play guitar while on the computer! 3K for a peice of wood and glass... seems a little exspensive, I'd pay 1k at the most.

Re: Guitar display cabinet....??

$3500 and $850? That's ridiculous. I've been looking for years for some type of display case as well. Let me know if/when you find a place.

Re: Guitar display cabinet....??

I promise, they'll look super cool!

How hard did you look?

One google search and a couple minutes of clicking yielded these:
