Find an old Armor to gut out and replace with plexiglass.

The one that cost thousands of dollars...or the one Elvis played.

Except I am trying to display them a bit even if he wants to just jam most of them in the closet.

All you need is someone who knows how to make a wood box frame and then line it with Plexiglass. Seems like a doable project..

Oh ok.

I don't remember prices and stuff. He asks, he receives. J/K

I would have to ask him which is more valuable and this is supposed to be a surprise.

His room is rather small is the other thing as you can tell. When they practice here it is in the living room. His room could no way hold too much...

Thank you!

You don't think it would be too much to have them all hanging?

No, I think it'd look great.

 

[Kerad]

He'd be cool with a simple floor stand if you do his room just like this.

Excellent. BUT...he has a tiny room actually.

At least now it is junk free. If only I could figure out what to do with all those friggen cords everywhere. ugh.

I agree having the guitars hanging on the wall looks good. He will like it.

Does your son likes Surfing? If so here is an idea.

STORING A GUITAR



[font=ARIAL,HELVETICA]If you plan to leave a guitar unplayed for an extended period of time, keep it in a case. Loosen or remove the strings. Keep the guitar in an area which will not be subject to extremes in temperature or humidity. If you do these simple things, your guitar will be ready to play when you are.[/font]
[font=ARIAL,HELVETICA][/font]
[font=ARIAL,HELVETICA] CASES

[font=ARIAL,HELVETICA]A quality hardshell case is essential for any guitar that you want to last. Plastic, chipboard, and gig bags are insufficiant in the long run. Get a good hardshell case!

HUMIDITY

[font=ARIAL,HELVETICA]The optimum relative humidity for guitars is 45-50%. Dry air kills and maims musical instruments, so do whatever you can to maintain a stable relative humidity in the place you store your guitar.[/font]

YW, We want Pic when you are finish.

What would you consider an "extended period of time?" I have no idea how long which sit around or get played.

I notice the temp gages in the cases. Do you use something familiar to what you would for a cigar humidor?

 

[cdsulhoff]
