Do you have a dedicated "guitar room/area?"

Recently moved a spare loveseat we had into my office/guitar room and it's a great place to play.

Also got a desk chair that I can raise the arms on so I don't bother the wife with my "music."

Here's what my current collection looks like:



Also, have an Eastman E8D dread that's for sale currently but hydrating in the closet

I have my amp setup in a corner of the master bedroom closet. I usually also have my guitar next to my desk in the office for practice during work breaks.

My whole basement is a studio, so I guess that counts

My desk is a little to the left of where the photo was taken from so I do the same

That's not an optical illusion?

Which model is that?

I had to use a wide angle to get the entire room so it did make the perspective funky. It's a 1998 F47RCE made at the Rhode Island factory before Fender bought them and screwed them up

I've always fancied Guilds. What are the good years for them?

Any year up until 2000 when Fender shut down the Westerly, RI factory and moved production to California. So if it says made in Westerly on the label, it's good, although some people say '95 is the cutoff year for quality Guilds as that's when Fender bought them. Cordoba music owns them now and I hear they have improved the brand but I haven't played any of their recent guitars.

I have a 12x24 shop dedicated to guitar and beer drinking. Guitars, helix, amps, mics and PA. I have 2 reclining couches, a desk, office chair, a fridge and a 65" tv. I spend at least a couple nights a week out there.

Full basement is a combined Gun/guitar/ birdhouse building and decorating area, and it kinda looks like hell.

I used to have a spare bedroom for that, but I had to rent it out. Now, my amp and guitar as well as a bass rig, two powered speakers, multiple mics, and a mixer are in my dining room.

Once we do the addition to our house I will have a dedicated office/music room but for now I have just a corner of our bedroom and my wife wasn't too thrilled when she saw the size of the amp I had to buy because it was a steal.



I just picked up the Strat yesterday on a craigslist find and I am super excited. I've never had a Strat before so I'm having a lot of fun with it. The neck is super smooth compared to my SG.

I built a jam space in my barn that's about 780sf. These photos are from 12 years ago, and the space is much more complicated with more instruments, rugs and art. I may go down there later today to show y'all what it looks like now.
