Hi there. As some of you may know, I'm (though not for my day job) a guitar player and singer who spent a fair part of the 90s studying, composing, and playing music quite seriously. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with Mrs. Heb, who also is rather musical (guitar, vocal, and piano, though sadly we don't have the room for a piano). At the moment, we have only one acoustic guitar each in the apartment.
However, in the pre-Mrs. Heb days, I amassed a pretty substantial collection of guitars and other stringed instruments (all told, around 12-15, including two I have been trying to assemble as custom guitars), as well as a silverface Deluxe Reverb amp. I'm not a collector in the standard sense of the word; I got them all to play them. But they've been living at my parents' house, and Mom and Dad are starting to think seriously (for a number of reasons) about moving quite soon. This means I need to somehow move my collection here, and on a relatively modest budget.
I've been doing a fair amount of research about storage options, and I think I'm probably looking at a combination of a multi-guitar stand, some wall hangers, and possibly a bit of shelf storage. But I'm not sure what the best combination would be...so naturally I thought of you guys, since a number of you (TMBTM and Father Merrin offhand, though I'm pretty sure there are more) also play.
Are there any storage configurations/brands you love? Any you hate? I'd really appreciate any and all suggestions!
