Is there any difference to standing up V stored horizontally in case on their edge.

I'm a bit late on this one, but I can think of one good tech reason in addition to Alain's
Oxidation of the hardware. ( excluding relics )
As for acoustics, never out of the case unless to be played.
I'm sorry but I do not get the hang all your guitars on the wall part.
Yes I do like looking at them but instruments are meant to be in a case protected.
Having once snapped the neck on a 59 LPC because of leaving it on a stand....

Thanks!

I'm building another. I've bought 4 more CS teles since I took that pic. CS guitars are very addictive.

How big a space and how many guitars? My cabinet is about 40 cubic ft. I use an AC powered cigar humidifier that needs to be filled about every 2-3 weeks. This is only in the winter, in the summer months the cabinet stays at about 50% humidity with the doors closed.

I hang mine on the wall and keep them in the case. I keep it on the wall so I will practice more. I used Hercules wall hangers. I will also tell you that I used longer screws and made sure that they are in the stud and secure.

I have only one CS guitar which I have since 2008 and I always have it in the living room on a guitar stand, and so far there has been no need for setup adjustment of any kind.

It's just so therapeutic :!: Not to mention once you pay for the first session, additional repeats are gratis :wink: :lol: ( playing them that is )

I can think of one other reason as to why have your guitars in their cases out of the way.
Out of sight from prying eyes, It may not be an issue with someone on the third or above floor in an apartment, but on a one level house, peace of mind is priceless.

I do have one exception, it is hanging on the wall, this is my 40+ year old Yamaha Classical, it has over time developed this wonderful patina that cannot be duplicated and only achieved by years of exposure. (there's the caveat )
