Custom Guitar Display Cabinets

Yep.

Seems my wife would side with many who want to show them off.

I'm with Yoda, when I close the doors there's nothing to see but a couple of big wood cabinets.

 

Display is not what I had in mind.

They are safe, secure, somewhat hidden, and free from dust collecting on them.

Modified the inside of a tv cabinet with two pieces of wood handrail and a scrap of poplar for a top rack, lined it with cork (maybe I'll add suede over it later) and that's all there is to it (besides patching the back to fill up the hole that used to be there for the back of the tv).

Nice and handy to grab whatever guitar suits my mood, but they can all be closed up and protected from dust and stampedes

Thanks for the idea, neo.

The only purpose of cabinets like those is to be able to simultaneously lock up and  also display your guitars -- so that people visiting your home can see them, but not walk off with them  if, for example, you are having a large party.   To me, this is for the person with a  pristine 1962 Gibson SG Custom along with a Les Paul that was formerly owned by Jeff Beck.  I have a good non-guitar-playing friend who has a hand-signed EVH Art-series guitar that would also be a good contender for something like that.  Otherwise, just hang it on the wall, and get some  kind of lighting for it ... all for no more than a $100.
