My "Musicman Only" display case :D

[Flash Gordon]

Older pic - lit up. There are LED strip lights that run around the back, recessed behind some trim. It lights up the reclaimed wood I used on the back wall... looks sick in motion!

Awesome case - couple of questions:
- what kind of glass did you use?
- dd you humidify the case?

 

[MJM]

Very nice.. your silo special honey burst PDN... is that a special, or a HH silo?
Awesome collection.

 

[jzeijen]

Excellent! Is it in your living room? I'm only 'allowed' to hang one guitar at a time on the wall there...

Tempered glass... it's 3/8" thick... there are 2 panels and they roll in a steel bearing channel (top and bottom)

Humidity provided by a Cigar Oasis Magna. Cigar Oasis MAGNA ...They are around $200, and you can set the level and forget it (simply checking the reservoir every couple weeks.

Thanks! It's a Special. H/S/S - Actually, now that I am looking at it... I had my backup Silo 20th Aniv. in this spot in the picture ( I have 2 identical 20th aniv.) Here's a shot from this AM without the lighting and such:

LOL, no... it's in my office above the garage, where I can play as loud as I want!

Sure do! The only one I have not played is the 2014 Axis Neptune Blue. It's just too beautiful! See what I mean:

 

[banjoplayer]

wow! I guess you need a bigger case, as the 2nd silo20th is outside!

 

[kestrou]

Just have to add my "WOW!!!" to the thread

I originally had 12 Balls stuffed in there, but it was too crowded. I sold one AL 2012 PDN mm90) to a forum member, and pulled that Silo out as it is my most played.

Likely the coolest thing I'll be seeing today, or tomorrow for that matter.

Very cool! Did you design it and who built it? Also you got the luck of the draw as that Neptune Blue Axis has a sick quilted top!

 

[BUC]

I bow to your display case!

That blows my mind

 

[Metlupass2]

What's your address please? Thanks.


What color is that Neptune axis without camera flash? It's it greenish Aqua like the normal blue?

Thanks! Yes, I designed it during our renovation/addition project last Summer. Our builder and his cabinet maker took my design from paper and put it together.

That Neptune happened to pop up on Music Zoo's website... which is one of a bunch I troll regularly! I saw it and bought it immediately. There is one similar in quality over at Willcutt... also a BFR Neptune. The quilt is a little tighter but still mesmerizing!

I'm out in Barrington. That is not the camera flash... its a theater can light! Any kind of direct light produces the color pop. You can see it in the natural/indirect light picture... top row, 2nd from the right.

The two framed pieces of art to the right of the cabinet add an extra bit of awesome to an awesome display.
