Nice Rack!

After having a new oak floor installed in my studio, I decided that having all my guitars on stands or hanging didn't really work for me anymore. After looking at numerous guitar racks online, I didn't see anything that really solved the issues of having more than 6 guitars and all the related doohickeys, tools, etc. So, I decided to design and build what I wanted. It needed to hold more than 6 guitars and have storage for the extra stuff and have a work bench component. After not doing any wood working since I was in high school but having pretty much all the tools I needed I went to work. Here she is! Solid Red Oak. I haven't installed the drawer pulls yet, but its functional.

    Your new rack looks great .
    At my age I find this much more interesting to look at than a set of Granny's knee knockers
    Nice touch with the work area on the top for setting up your guitars ...
    Under that top section , are those drawers that you haven't put handles on ? BTW...nice wood grain ...
    Does that come in a Right handed version for guys that aren't lefties ...opps couldn't resist

    Damn that looks nice. Much better than my own way with individual stands:

    Maybe I should have built something like that instead of joining a guitar building class. (My new telecaster to be is on the gluetable on one of the pics)

    Excellent work.  Sure is some pretty wood.


    Thanks Herb, I was pretty selective about the boards I chose. Red Oak is very dense and a real bear when it comes to cutting and sanding. It's a real blade killer.

    Nice job Randy, you should be proud of that.




    That I am James. I currently have 12 guitars and this rack has room for 9. My plan is to build another just like it in the spring. Just between us guys, my thoughts are that I'll need to buy 6 new guitars to fill it up. We can't have all those empty spaces now can we?

    Excellent rack!
    Now that I have the tools, I plan on making a multi rack once it gets a little warmer out in the shed.

    Thanks Kenny, yes those are the drawers. I believe James has answered the other part of your question.

    Nice. Is that the go-to honey on top?


    Not yet, but soon. I got this from a down on his luck guitarist. It had some knock off cheap single coils in it, but the neck was one of the nicest I've ever felt. I started tearing it down and when I removed the pick guard I discovered the guitar was actually routed for humbuckers. I ordered a set of the original Fender humbuckers that were available on some Thinline Tele's back when they came out in 72. They have Fender engraved in the covers. It's a project I hope to complete before spring.
     
    The go-to honey for the last year has been the Martin 000-28 Ambertone I special ordered directly from Martin and picked up at the factory. There is a thread about it around here somewhere.

    Go right ahead Bob. As for a new business venture, I'll pass. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process, but I worked on it for a couple of hours here and there for about 6 weeks. In total, it was probably about 40 hours of work, but it didn't really feel like work. I'm designing my next project, but it's for enjoyment only. I think the fun would go right out of woodworking if I HAD to do it.
     
    Let me know if you need any tips on your rack. (pun fully intended)

    Very nice ... next week I get to put up the 2nd CD rack of mine!
