As my G&L collection grew, there was a tipping point a year or two back when I realized it was easier to track down good deals on Leo-era rarebirds than it was to find space in the house for them. My wife pointed out that there was enough space in our unfinished basement for a music room. She made it clear that I was not going to attempt the project on my own, so the hunt for a contractor began. After much searching, we found a good one and the work began back in May. We expected a 3-4 week job, but it ended up running 3-4 months (which was not entirely the contractors' fault). Anyway, I installed the floor, trim and guitar hangers and started moving gear down at the beginning of October. Photos have taken a while, as I just haven't been able to get any I've been happy with under the room's lighting. After a request for more Leo-era porn was posted in another thread this morning, I decided to go ahead with the best ones I have.
So without any further delays, here is the main wall's current lineup:
Here's a side wall that fits three guitars and a synth table:
Here are some stands and my go-to amps:
Last but not least, here was my solution for case storage:
It took me a while to decide on the wall arrangements. I have already changed the side wall, and will get a new photo of it tonight. I've also added another multi-guitar stand to put a few more instruments within reach. The main wall was going to be a shrine to Leo-era basses, and still might be. I just need to build a table to go behind the couch and move it away from the wall first, so that I don't knock my head into instruments when I sit down. I toyed with a couple of themes meanwhile. Who will be first to figure out the one I went with?
