My G&L's - "The Wall"

Post by gitman001 »

Hey Guys,

I haven't been around much lately as i have been busy renovating a teaching/studio space in my place. The work is almost complete, just a few little odds and ends. I thought i would share a few pics of the back wall....

I plan on picking up the lunch report in the near future and will dive into the rest of the space.

Thanks Darwin,

It is a Jaguar Baritone (reissue of the Bass VI from a number of years ago). It really is just a place holder...I have 11 spots on the wall and only 10 G&L's! Will it be the LE-2, a Bigsby? only time will tell :D

Love the warm inviting atmosphere..well done !!
I started hanging a few instruments on the studio wall...coolest art ever.
Like a painting you can dive into at will , especially if it's an instrument
with a lot of personal vibes imbibed. :thumbup:

:shocked003: I didn't know you had so many! And that SC-2 stands out for me, what a handsome guitar.

I didn't think you had that many guitars. Pretty cool looking setup. Do your students play those?

That's a gorgeous setup. I really like the recessed lighting above the guitars. I wouldn't have thought of that!

I'm in the conceptual stage of building a music room in the garage/basement and have been planning out a guitar wall. Are the hangers at 16" intervals, or did you frame the wall specifically for the guitar spacing?

Hey Everyone,

Thats for the reply's!

Yes Jos, I certainly have the "bug" also...It has been almost 2 years since i became a member here at GbL and the number of G&L's has doubled in that time. :shock:

Ken, I am going to do the lunch report this week and will go through the details of the room! The guitars are at a 12" spacing...stay tuned ;)

Meow,

I do have a few students that do play them once in a while - I have a few students that come right after they are finished working and don't have time to race home and grab their own guitars. I think my local dealer is pretty happy about that fact also - Most of those guys now have their own G&L's!

Wow Scott! VERY nicely done!

Like everyone else I had no idea you had so many G&L's, they are are beautiful but that honeyburst bluesboy is calling to me :luv:

I really like the tile you chose as well (from your lunch report) it had me fooled until I read the report.

Fantastic idea!

Only trouble is then I gotta admit that I'm lurking about a website looking at pictures of guitars.

My wife has mandated that I build a "man cave" in the basement and hang my guitars. I think it's more from a desire not to see cases lying around than it is for decoration. That's fine with me, although the "one in, one out" restriction I'm under until then is a downer.

My problem is that I will need to have two walls the size of Scott's, and any new acquisitions will need to go onto stands. It's a tough life! :crazy:

Ken, I feel your pain as I have orders for no additional guitars. I am supposed to trade. I have a full living room wall and the ends of the adjoining walls for 22 guitars . I have 12 in racks and 1 in a display case. There are some on the wall in the bedroom and 3 on the wall in the garage. So according to Ginny, I have reached the limit. She probably has better judgment than I do. :shocked028: -- Darwin

My wife said she had better judgement than me once, then I reminded her "you picked me remember"... case closed... :lol:
