    Explain to your wife it is important to you and hang on the wall. 

    Seems a bit harsh?

    Have a guitar on a stand. Teach your child not to damage it. It can be done. 


    True, I have a decent quality acoustic on a stand in the loft extension where my 12 month old spends a fair bit of time and he goes near it and touches it gently but knows not to do more. Meanwhile he'll beat the shit out of anything else he finds in his way.

    Other than that, if you're not allowed them on display then there are few options really. Try and find a guitar that the wife actually likes the look of, it can be done. You'll probably have to sacrifice the superstrat for an Archtop but hey ho.

    I found getting divorced meant I got more guitars and I can now put them where you want them!

    It was worth it, and not just because of the guitars!

    Ok, put a couple in my spare room, would you..! There's a good chap!

     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    It may depend on what guitar and how you hang it.

    This seems to be acceptable...

    The weird thing is - she likes guitars, she owns a Les Paul - She doesn't agree with all of my guitar choices but she genuinely likes the look of my main two (Cort X-Ltd 16 and Faith Naked Venus)

    I think the main issue with hanging at the moment is the lack of wall space.

    Mind you... i wouldn't mind an Archtop... :)

    Top of a bookcase? Behind the sofa? 

    I always have my cheapy parlour (pub sesh guitar) propped up against the sofa. It wouldn't be the end of the world of it got smashed and it's dings and scratches add character. We have a 6 month old Labradoodle, no kids though.

    That's because he's got such an incredibly dignified moustache. I bet whenever you go out she sticks googly eyes and smile on it:

    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    lol

    I'd never really noticed that before, but it really is Stephen Fry's General Melchett moustache, isn't it...
