The collection really looks great. But...

Long-term hanging isn't for my guitars. Too many potential issues with dust, sunlight, pressure on the headstock/neck, finish problems (from the hangers and/or straps left on) and 'accidents'. Some of that may be old wives tales, some may not apply to all guitars. But I've got two nice instruments and if they're out of my hands for more than ten minutes they're in their cases. I'm just too much of a wussy...

But your's sure look bitchin'. :D
