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

Feeling a lot better about myself after opening this thread

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

Slightly leaned against the wall, headstock up/face out. In groups of 4-5. Each case has green or yellow gaffer tape with the guitar information on it so it's easy to find the guitar I'm looking for.

The gun cases are stacked differently and not labeled. I know what's in each gun case. The road cases for the amps are also not labeled. I can look at the cases dings and know what's in each case. But a lot if the amps have custom covers that I wrote the name/brand of what they are covering.

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.

I think if I had the room on an open wall and wasn’t so anal about storing expensive basses and guitars out in the open I’d build some racks rather than buy them.

Never a great idea to store guns in cases. Cloth/ fabric and that foam crap are moisture magnets. Humidity controlled safes are best in my opinion.

They are in a humidity controlled environment. As is all my stuff.

Ok. Do yourself a favor. If they’re stored in cases, pull them out regularly and make sure the fabric or foam hasn’t broken down and look for surface rust.

I have 2 of these....

I have one of those case things that folds out and holds 5 or 6 ish guitars. I have ~10 total. We’re putting our house on the market tomorrow and I had to load up 8 + a few combo amps to send to storage so we could stage this bish. About half are inherited guitars but dang, some of you with 30+ is insane! Would love to run those racks.

I sold off about half of my hard cases. I only kept a few OEM ones that really shouldn’t be separated from the guitars.

I bought two Mono gig bags to replace the pile of them, with no regrets.
