Good thing you "thinned" them out... :rolleyes:
The studio looks great too, by the way. |

Actually wabbit....it's Retirement Planner :cool: , Financial Assessments :) , Wealth Management :D , and Insurance :rolleyes: .
and unfortunately, NONE of the pictures I posted are my stuff. I just happened to be doing a Jeffery (cruising the web for photos) when I came across a few posts where collectors were showing off how they stored their guitars.
I thought some of them were really cool so decided to share........
(and equipment wise, my studio is actually nicer...the only thing I have that actually competes with some of these photos!) ;) |

I'm actually kinda glad I don't own any guitars I would feel compelled to keep behind glass. |

I guess it makes sense. Nice display case regardless. |

They're not close enough to the fireplace, but at least it's just a short toss. |

Good one, Bobbo.
Maybe he's that guy in the joke.
Banjo player goes to a gig (remember it's a joke), then afterwards he decides to go out for a beer. Sometime later he remembers he left his banjo on the back seat of his car, in plain view. Panicking, he runs out to his car and sure enough, his window is broken. And there's two more banjos in the back seat... |

Beautiful stephen - is it just the light or is only the neck gloss? The front and back look like a nitro-cellulose finish. |

My guess is that it is the light making the neck appear glossed. |
