Would You Buy This Guitar Display Cabinet?

[Mark_70]

Bwahaa.. you can get a really nice actual bass for that.

Hard 'no' on the show case.

Looks much like a dry bar with a StringSwing bolted to it to me.

I have about 24 guitars & basses hung on the walls around my house. I wouldn't take that display if you gave it to me.

I got one of these for about half that. Holds 14 basses/guitars.

You asked:

​

I wouldn't buy it as a guitar/bass display unit. It might be okay as a piece of bedroom furniture.

$200

Guitar display cabinet? It's more like a dresser that someone installed $50 worth of guitar hangers on. $1900 is insane.

 

[themickster]

It's a homemade piece that requires 2 people to move it, must be bolted to the wall, holds 5 guitars/basses and the seller wants $1900 for it. I doubt he'll get that, if it even sells at all. Usually display cabinets have doors to protect the instruments from dust and keep them humidified. Might as well just buy a multi-guitar stand.

Here's the link to the ad (anyone know how to make a screen shot in case it gets pulled?)

I wouldn't

 

[Appogee]

No. As it's made of old church pews, I'd be concerned it would erupt in flames if my wife touched it.

$49 and gets job done…

I'd rather root thru Ikea's "as is" section and whip something together from that.

I bought a display case made of metal and glass from IKEA to house my 2 Taylor acoustics. Works great, I can keep them humidified in the winter and it cost nowhere near $1900.

Well, yeah, but you won't be able to chop it up and use it as firewood to heat your house when the zombie apocolypse starts and the power grid fails.

Ya know ... a true "Guitar/Bass Display" case would be a very interesting get/build, but I think each of us might have our own ideas as to what we want out of.

I used to keep Iguanas and Salt Water tropical fish. Demanding is exactly what that is, but I could "conquer" the needs of proper humidity, etc. I've been there and done that.

All that said, my display case would have to be two-tiered, glass on three sides, climate controllable, ... well, you get the point. Since I can't build it myself, I'll never have a display case. My studio with some hangers/stands will have to suffice.

Or you could go to Home Depot/Lowes, buy the cabinet you want (or build it), then mount a piece of wood to the wall studs, and mout 5 hanging guitar hangers.

 

[Five or Six]

To answer the question, uh, no. Not to mention there isn't enough room for all my beauties.

 

[Formula73]

no

 

[Lucas Carioli]

I don't like to let instruments exposed. So...

 

[Mantis Tobaggan]

NO

 

[Ostie]

I'd use it for a mini-bar.

Even if you were in love with it, those are 6 string guitars displayed on it. Full scale basses might be too long to display. I think there are better options out there. I keep my guitars on wall hangers in my home office so they are easily accessible to play (otherwise I'd keep them in cases to keep the dust off). As one of the other posts mentioned, for a display case you would want something enclosed. Something like a tall china cabinet without shelves.

Good luck on it...
