I've moved into a new place and we have a music room. I want to have my steels (5 of them) on display and some of them are not able to be hung. I'm hoping to find a way to have them displayed horizontally. I need some ideas. I've thought about 45 degree magazine rack/shelves.

Let me see what you got.

Hangin' your favorites..........

If you're at all familiar with a typical SHOE store,
they have those horizontally grooved wall boards that have little plastic or metal hangers that are inserted into those parallel grooves........

a pretty good way to go and they should be able to hold a triple-8 fender or whatever. Lot's of versatile options afforded there.

I have masonite walls. So, this is what I do.

Delvin,
Yes, you are correct!
However, I don't get a chance for a group shot very often.
I think my wife was on a trip. :whoa:

Erv,the Williams is gorgeous.
Which of the three showing, in your opinion, has the best sound?

Rick,
I really can't express an opinion.
They all sound good, each in their own way.
I don't have it in the picture but I also have an SD-10 Rains and that also is a great guitar:

Wow, thats quite the Lap Steel collection you have there. With all of those Gibsons, you'd probably enjoy this book:

I was kinda hoping for more non-pedal wall or cabinet displays. I don't have any steels with legs and I need to get these suckas off the floor.

You would probably enjoy seeing the displays that I've seen, belonging to Geo. ‘Keoki’ Lake and Raymond Montee!
