Whatever you’re missing rob, that space looks amazing, congrats on the new house. Very jealous!

Bummer, initially I had issues with the bridge, but some new height adjustment screws sorted that out. I like it a lot now that it doesn't slice my hands open when palm muting.

Yeah the screws were way too long, the high E string was barely on the fretboard..... It was a mess

Both musically and offset-wise, you're missing a Bass VI and a Jazz Bass.

Time for a Pedal Steel or at least a Lap Steel.

I'd say some decorations.

I don't have one but it seems all the guitar gods have some kind of magical psychedelic tapestry hanging on the wall. These tend to be sound treatment too of course.

Maybe a picture of Jimi Hendrix or whoever floats your boat to look down and bless you with skills.

Maybe some photographs or posters or something.

I don't know.. something to spice up the room and make it look like your space and not a gear store.

Yes! Posters or pix of your inspirations.
I have this one in my music room, along many others, mostly 8 X 10 glossy pictures, many autographed by players that mean a lot to me.

Not missing much. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who owns a bunch of blue guitars. Nice collection.

Obviously....more wall space ;D !

On a more serious note, is that a basement window that potential thieves could see into and check out your stuff? Maybe think about some kind of shade or perhaps a blind that could allow light in but prevent viewing of the room???

If its not a walkout basement you want to read up on sump pumps. Your collection is hanging on the walls of a swimming pool if a pipe or water heater fails. I used to inspect basements and many Folks lost fine things because they didn't understand how fast a basement can FILL with water while they were at work. Just sayin, think about it.. Most home owners policies wont cover a collection unless they are catalogued and paid for with a rider to the policy.

I got everything hung up in the basement this week. What is some obvious stuff I'm missing? I'd say #1 a Jarman, and then like a legit vintage duosonicII.

my last basement was wall to wall posters because the paneling wasn't like 70's wood shitty but it was still shitty. Going for a cleaner look now.
