How do you store your 20+ guitars? (Guitar racks)

[phillybhatesme]

I am ashamed to say that I'm at the point where I need to store about 20 guitars and I'm considering a two-tiered rack. I don't really want to make one (though I've done some basic woodworking previously, I'm not confident in my abilities and I don’t have great space (condo in the city) to work on projects like this) and came across the A&S storage rack (pic attached). I like the idea of keeping the guitars in cases. I have space for this.

Are there any other options out there?

There’s 4 of them on my couch right now chillin

I keep mine out.

I've been going back and forth about that. While I agree that looks the best, I'm not entirely certain I have a great humidity solution for this room.

Here I am freaking out because I'm about to have five. Why do I need five?! How many guitars do you in a week? Why do you need 20?

Listen man, I'm just gonna work it out in therapy, ok?

This forum has been called many things, but I'm pretty sure "therapy" has never been one of them.

...Good place to ask about guitar storage though. There's a lot of great responses on here.

Take that weak sauce 20 guitars and GTFO. Come back to me when you have 40+.

Seriously though, I built my own racks but somewhat modeled mine after these. I like having access to all my guitars and not have to fumble with cases. Just grab and play.

The design is very solid. Haven't had a single problem and they've been up for about 2 years. I'd assume the ones from DRS Racks would hold up equally as well.

I've been thinking about building a rack for mine, because I don't leave them outside their cases.

More pointy guitars than superstrats. You win on that alone

I’ve got 4 hanging on another wall, a few that sit on individual stands & a couple that stay in cases.

At around 15, I’m really at the point that I need to sell one to justify buying another. Most of them get played regularly.

30 guitars here…I have 3 cases that hold 7 guitars each. Then I have 9 individual guitar stands with a few placed around the house in different rooms.

I’ve been thinking to get another case that holds 7. But I think instead, I’m going to try to sell a few after the new year.

I try to keep dust off of them and the case works pretty good for that except the headstocks. But a have a soft fabric that I lay over top the headstocks.

6 on the wall
6 on a floor rack
4 on individual stands (usually the ones I'm playing at the time)
Acoustics are in the closet, along with a few other guitars not in rotation

I hang most of mine

In their cases in a climate controlled environment.

 

[Floyd Eye]

Mine are all in HSCs. Except the Chinese beater AE10 leaning up against the wall over there.

Where are you guys keeping your hard cases? Stacked?
Standing up against a wall?

I wish I had a better place, but currently they’re stacked in a couple closets, other than my main bass which is slid in between a couple large bass cabs in my jam room.

This looks amazing. Look at all those freakin icemen
Bought two guitars today, so we'll see how 2026 shapes up lol.

I sorta want to get a rack and let that dictate my limit. I can only have as many that fit in this space.

Those are really nice racks. If I weren't so hell bent on keeping my Gs in the case, I'd consider something like this, but I also like the two-tier idea as well.

I have my bass on the wall and that's somehow my only wall mount.
3 guitars on floor racks.
A hercules that holds 7 currently (9 if I'm really careful).
My acoustics are also in the closet also with several other guitars that I want to bring out.

I hang most of mine

This is real clean. I spy your humidifier. I have a humidifier and I'm getting new windows in my room, but I still don't trust it for my application.

This is kind of where I'm at right now. I want to get them out of storage, if you will. I have room for the two-tier rack in the OP and I'm leaning toward simply buying it when my pending points at Musician's Friend clear.
