Pretty nice guitar rack I reckon. Looks like you can store 14 guitars in about 1m x .5m floorspace.
Looks like a doable DIY project too!

high rise guitar apartment...I like it!
nice idea, looks good too
nice rack Fred (I would get in trouble with that comment if you were female haha), very cool if you are short on space
Bunk beds! More room for activities!!
Very cool idea, and it keeps them all neat and easy to get to as well.
That's a really nice idea. I've got 10 guitars hanging on the wall but have run out of space for the rest of the kids (especially as I'm an expectant father with more builds planned!). I think I might start drawing something up based on this and I'll post results here. Thanks for the inspiration Fred.
No worries.
Check out their website, they show external dimensions of each element: http://www.drsracks.com/
I've started drafting ideas as well, but it's been put on the back burner for now due to too many other ideas!!!... :-)
Geez, they're not cheap and that was also in USD! Ouch.
Yep not cheap.
But I wasn't planning to buy it!
I reckon that can easily be replicated using with one 1.2m x 2.4m sheet of plywood, various pieces of foam, and nice paint or tinted lacquer.
Shouldn't be much more than $100-$120 and a nice DYI project! :-)
The rack's a great idea, but that's an intriguing guitar collection? The only one I can identify if the white Tele at the back of the bottom shelf.
I didn't click the link... are they his/her own builds or just rare purchases?
Hi Adam, the brand is Kauer and it looks like they are a US guitar builder where customers can specify various upgrades in the build. Prices are quite high end, just like their guitar rack too.

I've seen somewhat similar builds on instructables. Nothing that fancy, but might be worth looking into.
Thought of concern: Would an Explorer styled guitar work as easy? Due to the body I'd think not, but I don't have any experience with racks like these. I've been thinking of making one like that, certain PVC & padding (depending on the type of paint & finish on the guitar), or a briefcase version.
Neither Explorers, Firebirds or Flying Vs (or the bass equivalents) would sit well in that type of rack. They really need neck-hanging stands. Something like this (I've got one of these for my V) and will need another for my Explorer.

I think you can get the neck-hanging part separately and could build them into a DIY multi-stand/rack.
I always do love a DIY challenge. Maybe a stand/rack with 2-3 Explorer/V capable slots, and 2-3 standards.Quote:

Hi Raz, I use these cheapies for most of my guitars, including the explorers as the underneath supporting arm can swivel and is a better support than just the hanging type.Quote:

35 years ago when I had my 1st explorer I actually bought a cello stand that had the guitar hanging from it's headstock. Not so good as it was very upright and vertical and therefore easily knocked over. These ones have the guitar slightly angled back and much better.
Finally got to build a guitar rack!
With the SG approaching completion (soon... maybe), I didn't have any stand left, so I started thinking about building a first try.
I didn't want to spend much on this at all, so I recycled a 2.4m long pine shelf that I recovered when I demolished the old kitchen.
I designed the rack to use the shelf as optimally as possible, which gives me a 1m long rack with room for 9 guitars.
Still need to varnish it, then stick foam (the only parts I bought for this project) on the bits where the guitars will rest, but pretty happy with the result!

Nice simple design, I need one of these....and the space to put it
I keep wanting to do one of these, never find the time. Not sure i want to concentrate all the weaponry in one locale though as it might prompt the "why do you need so many guitars?" line of inquiry.

Sealed it with leftover clear I used for my staircase, stuck some foam rubber roll from the 'green shed that can't be named' and job done.
Total spend $18 (for the foam).

nice job there Fred.
That really is a great thing you did! Nice job. I wish I had such golden arms like yours... I would do a lot of things for my little apartment that would help me save up some space in there. Like, I love it and all but I really want some more space to do my daily exercises! I've seen at my friend's house how he used a baker rack as a some kind of closet. I thought this wasn't such a bad idea, so I've read some reviews on https://www.thewindupspace.com/best-...racks-reviews/ and got to the conclusion that I also need a baker rack at my apartment. To be honest, not only it is useful and comfortable, it even looks great.
