how should i store my JEM 7V

[arify34]

hi, this is my first thread

i bought my guitar brand new from guitar center 3 years a go.
since that day i kept my guitar in own case
but i really don't know which way is the best way!

should i close the case ?
should i keep the case open?
should i hang my guitar on the wall?


thanks...

i store mine in the cases laying down.
play them some maybe once a month at least and adjust the trussrods once a year and you will be fine.

Yes--closing the case is a good habit. Saves room, too.

I leave mine open.........the mice like to play once in a while too!!!

keep mine closed ( less corrosion).

You don't let the house mice play yours????

Why don't you play it more. You wouldn't have to worry about how best to store it :P

Fridge is always the best option.

I have three on the wall for quick access and three in the cases (because I don't play them as much), closed and on their side in the closet for more room.

Some Sebastian? You're going to need a card catalogue to figure out which are where!

I tend to just leave most of mine laying around on the floor.............

Unless you live alone, I would never put a guitar in a case and leave it open or even unlatched. The first instinct is to pick the case up by the handle to move it, and you'll be on your way to giving it the "road worn look" before it ever leaves your house.
