sjl200 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks , No sound clips ...yet I made the rack. Just a 1X8 oak shelving board from Home Depot with 1 inch dowels screwed in from the back spaced for my guitars. it mounts directly to the wall with dry wall anchors. I put a shelf made with the same oak boards to fit next to it for all the "guitar stuff" with a few coat hooks on the ends for cables and the like . Then just polycoated it. realy easy, I'm NO carpenter but I did stay at a Holiday Inn a few years back,, all that's missing is my J45... ok I'l post that too! couldn't resist a family photo.

j45nick Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 how do you like the martin backpacker I was looking at getting a travel guitar down the road here I have one of these Martin backpackers. Their primary use is keeping your finger calluses from going away. I've been looking for a better travel guitar myself, and have looked at both the Yamaha silent guitars, and the Composite Acoustics compact carbon guitar. I literally travel on business six months of the year, and am often gone for weeks or months at a time. Your skills deteriorate pretty quickly under those conditions. I'm leaving tonight on a three-week business trip, and for the first time in several years, I'm not taking a travel guitar with me, since there are too many unknowns on this trip. I am already suffering guitar withdrawal, and haven't even left yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nice family photo I like the burst on yur 45! how do you like the martin backpacker I was looking at getting a travel guitar down the road here I don't travel with it. Its used for finger work outs mostly. It sits by the TV chair and when a commercial comes on I grab it and get 2 or 3 minuets to "pick out" what ever "tune" is playing with the ad....so far my favoright is that Viagra one with that little bluesy slid type riff The best thing about "my home made rack" is you can fill up every wall in the house, just make it bigger....of course I hear most wifes get the house when push come to shove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
