Guitar Collector Forum

Just spotted this wall-hung, glass fronted display cabinet on eBay.co.uk

Looks pretty cool, I haven't seem them in the UK before although I know similar cabinets are available in the US.

Not cheap though, at £275 plus £55 P&P - £330 total (that's about $540 US) Some of my guitars are worth less than that!!

My customise wardrobe fitted out for five guitars plus storage cost about the same!!
(of course mine is more for storage than display, so no real comparison...)

eBay one for single guitar....

vs. mine with 5 guitars

I guess that would be ok if you had one really valuable vintage guitar to show off, but totally impractical for collectors like us.....my two stands cost $83 the pair ---

The ebay link above shows 3 available, 2 sold, so someone must be buying them!!

Its not that much if you have a £1,000+ guitar and want to display it and keep it safe, especially if you have kids in the house!!!

Here'a another one, this time from eBay in US

Auction starting price is US $179.95 (Approximately £113.54)... it would be a real bargain at that price!
