Some of us are professionals. Some of us are retired. Some of us are just learning. Some of us just play because we enjoy it.
This is your thread - and it's not just for guitarists. I don't care if you play a kazoo. I want to hear it. I will listen to every submission of personally created work - and, if history is any predictor, other people will too.
So, grab your phone and guitar and record us something. Or, if you can do better recording that that, do so!
If you don't play and want to, ask questions. If you want more information, ask questions. If you want resources, ask questions.
By the way - I should start a "ping" list. If you're interested in being pinged, let me know and I'll add you to the list.

(I'm pretty sure I've forgotten some names and I've lost my list that I was keeping. If you want to be added, let me know.)
Addendum:
I'm sure I missed two usernames - please remind me so I can add it to this text file I copy out of. Also, you don't have to share music - you can just share the conversation.

Outside of the music room, they're on guitar stands. The music room is the only room with them on hooks. Part of one wall is electrics and part of one wall is acoustics. Below them are shelves and those have guitar cases on them. Under those shelves are tote boxes. Those have gear and consumables in them. The back is amps, heads, drum cases, a few sets of stacks, mic stands, and things like that.
I still don't have enough room. I have stuff in storage and stuff over my garage. Both are heated, so I'm not too worried.
Such is the life of a musician, I suppose.

I'm like you: Everything in its place. I wish I could hang guitars on walls or leave them on stands, but the humidity is just too high here. Everything is in a case with silica boxes, and I'm constantly throwing plastic silica boxes back in the oven to dry them out. Even with that, I just had to have my Larrivee re-fretted because I wasn't diligent enough in keeping it dry.

Hmm... Wow... I hadn't even thought of what I'd have to do if I lived in an environment like yours.
It helps to have had the room built specifically for purpose. The room as designed into the plans and is specifically a music room. It serves no other function. This helps a great deal, as I've truly accumulated so much stuff in my life.

You don't have enough room? Don't you have a wood shop or machine shop too? You have more room than most of us. I have about 3500 square feet at my house. I have room for more

I have accumulated a lot of stuff. Those other areas also have stuff in them. Like, seriously, too much stuff... I kind of relish the idea of my kids having to go through it all when I'm dead. Ha! Instead of me having to clean up their rooms, they'll have to clean up mine!
