Why You Should Take Your Electric Guitar Storage Method Seriously

Storing your electric guitars the right way helps increase your instrument’s lifespan, maintains their sound and preserves their overall condition.

You may also want to keep your instrument’s value in mind 🤔 If you ever plan to sell your electric guitar, keeping it in tip-top condition can help to preserve its resale value – and selecting the right methods and the best storage products can play a huge part in that equation.

Whether you’re a pro musician, collector, recording studio owner or just a regular camp-fire picker, here’s some things you should be taking into consideration if you’re intending to take your electric guitar storage seriously.

7 Considerations for Doing Electric Guitar Storage Right

1. Maintain a Controlled Environment

Guitars are delicate instruments that are sensitive to changes in the surrounding environmental. Temperature and humidity extremes can cause the necks of your instrument to warp, affecting its intonation and playability. And all the metal components on an electric guitar, such as frets, knobs, tremolos, pickups and output jacks can corrode over time if they’re exposed to excessive humidity or moisture.

So whether you’re keeping your instruments in or out of their cases, it’s critically important that you do your best to consistently maintain the best temperature to store your guitars wherever they’re being held. Even better if you can utilize guitar humidifiers to establish the best humidity levels for your instrument to really thrive.

2. Best to Keep It In a Hardshell Case

Consider storing your electric guitar in a hardshell case when you’re not using your instrument. Unlike gig bags or chipboard cases, a hardshell is going to provide you the best protection against physical damage, dust, and humidity fluctuations.

Some collectors who’ve run out of space often resort to setting aside a dedicated guitar storage closet where they just stack all their cases, one on top of the other. Obviously in this sort of scenario, you would need to rely on really sturdy hardshells to best hold up under all that weight and best protect against crushing or tipping 😬

Hardshell cases will provide you maximum protection, assuming that’s what you seek.

And hardshell cases are even better to use if there’s extended periods where you don’t play your instruments because the strings will deteriorate faster (when exposed to the elements) if they’re not regularly exercised. So, a strong case can help to extend your string life too.

A case is also going to keep any dust, dirt and debris from accumulating on your instrument. These sort of buildups can affect the electronics and playability of your electric guitar so best to nip that issue in the bud.

3. Nitro Protection for Vintage & Reissue Guitars

Vintage and reissue electric guitars are often coated with delicate nitrocellulose finishes that can be susceptible to fading, peeling or cracking if they’re placed on the type of cheap rubber that comes in most low-end stands. Best to shop for a nitrocellulose safe guitar stand that comes equipped with medical-grade foam and cushioning that won’t eat away at your nitro finish.

4. Keep Your Guitars Upright

When storing your guitars in or out of their cases, make sure to keep your instruments upright, with the neck resting on a some sort of support or cushion. This can prevent undue stress on the neck and on the headstock.

Storing a guitar flat for extended periods, especially without proper support, can lead to neck issues (like warping) and other damage over time.

Avoid warping by standing your instruments upright, leading to a longer, healthier life.

If you have no other option but to use drawers to store your guitars, at least use some sort of neck cradle to reduce the chances that any warping will happen.

5. Loosen the String Tension

If you’re planning on storing your guitar for an extended period, consider loosening the tension on the strings. This technique can help to reduce the stress on the neck and prevent it from warping. But don’t forget, you may need to adjust the setup when you start playing that guitar again after its hiatus.

6. Regularly Inspect and Maintain

Even when in long-term storage, periodically inspect your guitars for any signs of issues, such as cracks, loose hardware, or changes in action. Clean the instrument, especially the fretboard, to remove dust and sweat residue. And change your strings as needed, even if your guitar isn’t being played regularly.

7. Avoid Cheap, Flimsy Electric Guitar Stands

Kids and pets can put your easy-to-reach instruments at risk especially if they’re being stored in flimsy, light-weight electric guitar stands that can be easily knocked over 😨 If you prefer to keep your instruments of their cases, you’d be better off with a stand that has a solid, wide base or even using a wall hanger for guitars to get it off the ground and out of reach.

  1. Well-made, attractive, and functional. This allows my guitars to be protected in their cases yet quickly accessible. The design handles acoustic and electric cases well, even rectangular cases. It really helps clean up the clutter.

  2. This guitar case stand is perfect. Well made, easy to assemble. I have a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, so I only able to get 7 cases on the stand with pegs separating them. That was just what I needed. Really a much better way to store my guitars than stacking on tables.

  3. Unlike others here and everywhere, my wife actually enjoys my guitar acquisitions. Therefore, I need some storage, and the more furniture-like the better. Very glad, after all my searches, I found Guitar storage. The "perfect" fit and finish for some of my/our collection. The pic below will show how good "furniture" looks with gorgeous Brazilian acoustics on it. Now, on to the electrics after we find a wall space in this home for them. Order forthcoming and we are elated at the looks, functionality and organization of our fine instruments. Thanks Guitar Storage for the perfect stand!
