Question Where do you keep your guitars???

Agreed with quite a few posts here…I try to keep them out to make sure they get played. When they spend too much time in the case, that usually means they're on their way out.
 
Just like me, I always keep a couple in our sitting room on stands, these are cycled periodically, however this practise can lead to some serious domestic issues when I put on show a guitar that the misses didn't know I had.

Some of the guitars have moved on and have been replaced with others but this is where they live, on the wall for easy access when the inspiration strikes.

 
Multi-guitar stand. My public playing is usually on the weekend. Thus, easy access during weekdays encourages more frequent playing, both formal practice and the ever so important habit of tv-noodling ("oh joy", says my wife).
 
I walk around with them fastened to a special belt I designed, but only 4 at a time. The others stay on a stand and I rotate them one week in, one week out. This way, they all get belt time.

Ok, I just keep them all on multi/single stands. Some in different rooms to spread the good vibes around.

I've got six and they reside on the wall in my music room , if they were In cases they just wouldn't get played therefore I would probably end up selling a few because I couldn't justify keeping them
 
Most of time, the guitars that I use at the moment are on a stand, and the others are in their cases. For example, rigth now the JP7 and the Y2D are outside, but the Luke and the others (non-EBMM) are in their case. But soon, the Luke will see the light.

Damn, that is one BIG desk clock.

I hang mine on the walls of Tollywood.
 
I used to keep them all in their cases but I found I rarely used some of them, out of sight out of mind. A few months ago I decided to put up some slat walling and display them all. It has worked out really well as I get to play them all more regularly plus I can enjoy seeing their beauty when I go into my music room.
 
I learned long time ago that guitars kept in cases are less seldom played and taken out to gigs... Which is the main reason behind all my guitars.
 
Racks

I ended up buying several racks like this to organize my collection in both my music rooms. They're great and look good too. The problem is that with the extra space I gained, I bought more guitars.

since i moved my "music-room" to a different room in my house, i have only 3 wall hangers left....the rest stays in the case until i think that i need an other guitar.
