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) :o Some of my guitars are worth less than that!!

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

eBay one for single guitar....

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 ;) ---Image

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!!!
