Any suggestions on display cabinets?

I fancy something like this... not too fussy and lots of space. Has anyone here made their own guitar cabinet?

How about the one-case-per-guitar approach?

They do some really nice cases! Does anyone know of anything similar in UK (or Europe)?

If money is no object, these guys do some really nice cabinets: http://www.guitarcollectorshowcase.com

Compact storage for multiple guitars, extra storage for cases and built in humidifier and lights. Very classy, high quality guitar storage... but not cheap!

Hi MJ, that's a nice set of three display cases.

I checked out the Ozark Valley website, they really seem to know about guitars and how to care for them! Things like UV-filtering glass and LED lighting are great for ensuring the finish on your guitars doesn't fade while on display.

Your guitar cabinets are a little traditional for my taste, I prefer their simpler plain ones like below.

PS: what are the guitars in your 3 display cases? The photo isn't quite good enough to see details.

The one on the left is a tele that had a silversmith build the bling for and a leather craftsman carve the body leather. It is called a Cowboy Tele and took a couple of years to work all the logistics and assemble the guitar. Fender Custom shop built a simiiar one mahy years ago. The Acoustic guitar is a one of a kind Blueberry Masterpiece..totally handcarved, inlayed, exceptional sound quality. The third guitar is a handmade Jersey Girl that is perhaps one of the finest handmade boutique instruments ever sold. No two are the same, and everything including the pick-ups are handmade. Ozark Valley Displays custom built the display cases for me.
