Guitar storage ideas.

Gonna tell you what I want to build first then you guys pick holes in it or tweak and give your ideas.
I’ve built an acoustic guitar. I SHOULD be able to build a box.
Here goes. I want my guitars standing on their ends in cases. Lined up in a row in a box. The box will be like a nicer shipping crate. I have the walls of my parents old cedar closet. The cedar has to 100 years old. I’d like to line the inside with that and have the outside a nice material. I’m thinking good birch plywood. Or repurposing something else. It will essentially look like a nice old style shipping crate with no lid. Wide enough to hold a dreadnaught case. Length of the case is TBD.
I thought about this on the home/garden board but it’s music specific and many of those guys come here too.
Also I have seen repurposed armoires and television cabinets. I think a cases dreadnaught is too big.
I’m open to being proven wrong and open to other ideas.

Are these guitars being retired?

Nope. Stored off of the floor.

If I store a guitar in a case, I'm much less likely to play it. I've got a handful that hang on the wall for that reason.
If I put one in a case, unless I'm taking it somewhere to play, I may not lay eyes on it again for a few years.

I'm kind of here. I have a great (and cheap) floor stand and that's the guitar I pick up and play now. I have plenty of space, but don't want 5 or 6 guitars on the floor, even in this sort of stand. So, I'm looking at a wall storage option that I can both trust and scale up. If I take back the guitars I gave my son that he's not playing, that would be 2 electrics, 3 acoustics and 1 bass. If it goes well, I can easily see myself scaling that up to 12 to 15 guitars. But, looking more like 2024 before I kick that kind of thing off.
TL;DR - like you Auggie, the guitars I keep in cases rarely get played.

Or just go with a vault and save some wood and time. But..I get it. Want what you want.

The slotted wallboard works pretty well for me. You can use different hangers so your guitars will either hang at an angle or flat. Never had a problem, just make sure you attach the board screwed into studs.
