Title: 10 x 10 Music Room. Top 10 Must Haves
Post by: TrampsLikeUs on June 19, 2020, 08:37:16 PM
I'm taking over a bedroom for a new music room.  I need to know where monies will be best spent.
Acoustic Guitars are my toys.  I don't have much space.  I'm hanging guitars on walls. I have stands, amps, mic stand, and a throne.  What are other absolute musts haves?  You don't really have to list 10. Some other thing I have are.
Tablet holder
Looper
Stomp page turner
Preamp
Wireless guitar to amp
Crybaby pedal

What am I missing?

It's cool you are building yourself a dedicated room. When I did mine, which actually has evolved/changed over the years, I focused on ME and what and how I play. You will start out, but tweak it as you go....as you use it. I think you will find it isn't really about what others would do, but about you and your music. Most of what is listed here isn't in my room, but that's ME. Enjoy the process and enjoy your new space.  :)

My first thought when you said "acoustic guitars" and that you would be hanging them on the walls was humidifier/dehumidifier.

Today I've added a petrified wood bowl on a dresser top.  Great place for picks, capo's, tuner's.  I've decided to not use anything artist related. Ex. Posters, pics, etc.  I'm looking into purchasing some original art posters.  I've got my eye on one already.  When I purchase, I will post a pic. It has LOTS of color !!!  Started using my cajon as a side table (needed a place to place my drink).

Blue tooth speaker so I can play along with my Iphone.
A good rag for wiping down after a good sweaty session.
A good supply of cleaning and conditioning products.
A tool kit with screw drivers and wrenches for tweaking things.
A good supply of Acetate picks. ( I seem to wear them out on my acoustics).
A humidity meter in the humidor (with a few cigars).
A few inspirational posters and memorabilia.


My bedroom serves this purpose. I have 10 instruments hanging from the walls. Some collector items, others get played often.
I never want to leave my room....

A comfortable and sturdy guitar seat is a must!
