Anyone else do this?

My music room walls are loaded with various small body acoustics. I also keep one under the bed as a "rotating" surprise. Currently, the rotating surprise has been cased for almost a whole year. Time to let it out...it will be like receiving a new acoustic. By the way, it's a custom Martin 0-15 Anyone else like to do this?

I have three folding guitar stands and a sheet music stand. I always keep at least two instruments put on the stands, ready to be immediately picked up and played. Sometimes it's one acoustic and one electric, sometimes one acoustic and a mandolin, sometimes two acoustics, or two acoustics and a mandolin.

If a guitar isn't on a stand ready to be played then it's in its case. I have the cases squired away all over the upstairs. Oddly none under any bed.

I rotate guitars every couple of weeks as the ADHD moves me.

I keep all my guitars in cases but always where I can see them and quickly grab one when I feel the calling. Hiding it under the bed isn't a "surprise" if you know it's there and if you forget then you may as well have never gotten it.

I've only got two guitars.

Nope. I don’t have enough guitars to stick a custom Martin under my bed and forget it for a year. I try to keep my herd to two. For years I made a point of playing both daily. But in the last few months I’ve started playing one for a couple weeks then switching to the other and playing it exclusively for a couple weeks. Helps me bond with an individual guitar rather than falling into the trap of constantly comparing one with the other.

I love surprises, but I don't have enough guitars to forget what one of them is.

[Jim Comeaux]

Nope! Not me. I have 4 guitars and I keep them all penned up at n a rack in my “man cave”. Yes I play all of them on a regular rotating basis. None of them are rare or exotic. They are just pretty good guitars and that’s good enough for me.

JPD, your custom Martin 0-15 is your 'under the bed guitar that only comes out once a year'? That's what happens when you have a beautiful PRS and amp

This could be my GAS cure.... but I would have to rotate once a month

LOL!.............

[Bob Womack]

Is the one under your bed to protect yourself?

I do rotate mine but there are some that have louder voices from within the cases, if you know what I mean.

If I left a wooden guitar unhumidified that long it would crack in half.

Nope, I don't keep a guitar in a case under my bed.

[warfrat73]

No. But there's usually one on my coffee table for easy access from the couch.. In its case, of course (it's a pretty big coffee table).

Yes, I do know what you mean, although.....sometimes I still respond to the quieter voices...and am glad I did.
