Looking to replace the forest of fold-up guitar stands with something a bit more compact and wall hangers aren't really an option in the space I'm looking to use this in. Ideally something that can hold 5 electric guitars. Suggestions?

 You could roll your own. I built mine to hold the cases as well so in your situation better support for the neck would be ideal. |

I searched etsy, and found one I could copy. Mine holds 6 acoustics.

There are some nice looking ones that go for over $300 that I could make myself for much less. I have access to a large laser cutter, router table, and a variety of other shop equipment so that's probably the route I'll end up going. |

I bought one of these. Typical Chinese but very serviceable. Beware, the directions to assembly are pictures only and do not account for all the parts. It took me a bit to figure it out but once I did it was a breeze.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tras: Why? Simply curious. I love looking at my guitars, even though I've stopped short of hanging them all. The rack will be going in the middle of a large room behind another piece of furniture. No accessible wall space that isn't already occupied by something in the entire room. |

What is your budget? I was going to build myself one of those multi guitar atx road cases but I've decided to build display cases instead.

Road case
I think I got the atx wrong. I remember three letters being associate d with that style of road case. Any way I was going to build something like that with doors to keep the dust out. |

I drafted up a design I mostly pilfered from google images and bought all the plywood, lumber and hardware I need. Just waiting for some free time on my sister's laser cutter and I'll get this thing going. The sides will be 3/4" sanded maple plywood, the top horizontals pieces will be maple lumber and the bottom will be whatever cheap hardwood I have sitting in the shop since it's going to be covered in felt anyways. Rest of it will be stained.

Oh and laser cutter for wood projects? Educate me a bit?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tras: Oh and laser cutter for wood projects? Educate me a bit? My sister runs an Etsy store full of stuff she makes with laser cutters. She started with a Glowforge but now her main laser is an Aeon Super Nova 16 It's a pretty powerful machine and will make fairly short work of the 3/4" maple plywood sheet that I'll be cutting the side pieces out of. I haven't decided if I want to cut the comb part out with it yet or just do it with a drill press and miter saw. Maybe I'll post pictures of my progress along the way. |

I'm now sure it sucks not having a sibling with an $18k laser cutter.

I could still cut the parts out with a router or jigsaw but the laser is a lot less work. I may have been more inclined to keep the design simpler without access to the laser though.

sendcutsend.com is who I use for most of my waterjet and laser and I've got a shop full of serious CNCs. Upload your drawing, specify material, and order.

So the test cuts on my plywood showed that there is a much softer layer of wood in the middle that chars pretty bad making the laser cutting problematic. Rather than spending hours and hours trying to figure out number of passes and power levels of each pass to get ideal results, we opted instead to laser cut the pieces out of 3/16 Masonite board to use as router templates. This weekend I'll rout out all the parts and drill all the holes and hopefully get to where I can test assemble the rack and then it'll be time for staining and sealing. Pics once I get around to posting them.

It's coming along. This was just a test fit of the parts I have made up so far. Probably won't have time to work on it again until next weekend but hopefully I can get it fully built then and ready for stain.

Looking nice.
I need a tilt-back stand for my amplifier that I was going to draw up in CAD and have cut by sendcutsend but wood would be a much better choice. I am surprised that the only options I could find were crazy expensive and made of shitty composite with a wood veneer. I want to find some nice flamed maple. |

Quote HistoryThat's what I have. Works great. Holds several electrics and an acoustic with no issues. I think it's a little less expensive from Amazon. |
