Location: Utah | Well it took 6 months, too much money, a really supportive spouse, and a lot of muscle to get this cabinet here. My new-to-me home has no provision for a dedicated music room or centralized humidification, so the choice was between keeping everything in cases under beds or finding a display case.
Acoustic Remedy to the rescue. The workmanship is beautiful beyond description really. It has a built in humidifier and sealed doors. Professional movers were a necessity to get it safely inside.
As I am unable to figure out how to insert photos, here are the links.

Location: Texas | That really looks great. It’s nice that it’s deep enough to hang guitars on the back wall also. Seems you’ve nearly reached capacity of the cabinet… time to get a second cabinet? ;-) |

Location: Utah | Standing, it is at capacity for sure! There are still a couple of oddball guitars that don't fit. I may have to thin the herd. This collection is a nice cross-section of O and A through the years, so it won't be easy to decide which to let go. Our house is all about simplified living (with great luxury tbh), and lots of guest accommodations for kids/grandkids. We're on a mountain for ski in ski out in the winter, bike directly onto trails in the summer, etc. We are endlessly lucky, but gone are the bachelor days of spreading my stuff around my own place. |

Thanks for sharing FlySig! Really nice cabinet. Couldn't help but notice the wood box hanging among the bowl backs as well as some interesting instruments facing forward. Is that a Hamer? Care to reveal the non-O instruments to inquiring minds? |

I can top that. My studio is only 450 sq ft., and humidified nicely. So I'll pay $2.00 per each guitar per month. You can even choose which ones. Let the bidding begin. |

Location: Colorado | I have been in a lot of "band rooms" or guitar rooms. No ones....I mean no ones...exceeds Professor's for ambiance, guitars, vibe, quirkiness, and customization. Professor - maybe a full house swap is in order...might be less work for each of us. I still have great memories of Leon Russell at the Oriental. |
