Let’s see some guitars and amps. I’m sure this has been done before but whatever.

Love the joinery on your rack cabinet! I would love to get into more hand tool woodworking someday.

Here are my electric guitars. For amps I use one of those Monoprice 15w tube amps and a Katana 50. Sometimes a UA Dream 65 plugged into an interface or the effects loop of the Monoprice, but hopefully that'll be replaced with a unicab+something in the near future.
From right to left:
I don't have a decent shot of it, but here's the carve on the tele. The marks are masking tape residue. It's shockingly clean and smooth after some sanding and finishing and feels great to play. I think it looks kind of cool, too.
Despite all the time/money sunk into pedal building, I mostly end up playing acoustic around the house, particularly this well-loved Yamaha fg-150 I picked up over the summer. The action is weird, it looks like shit, there's a chunk missing from the neck, but it just works for me.
From right to left:
- Squier classic vibe jazzmaster. It was honestly pretty excellent out of the box, but I can't leave well enough alone, so it has a mastery bridge, AVRI vibrato, and I've done some wiring/shielding work. Aside from a setup and some light fretwork, it's been great since day one. The neck is miles better than the genuine Fender™ necks on its neighbors.
- MIM telecaster converted to baritone. My first new guitar, purchased ~2004 I think. Receipt is still in the case. Fender subsonic baritone neck, vintera 50's pickups selected for their low output, goofy weirdo wiring with bass cut circuit (great for baritone). Despite owning two, I kind of hate tele ergonomics, so this one also has a hacky contour on the back (picture below).
- Partscaster tele-jazzy-caster. MJT body, neck off the other tele, Fralin P-92 pickups (LOVE), descendant vibrato, bridge off the squier. The original route was for a tele bridge pickup, so I had to do a little routing to make everything fit. My current favorite of the bunch. The P-92's are wonderful. Nice natural sound, totally noiseless, chime-y and articulate voice, etc. I've never played original WRHBs, but these sound exactly like I imagine them if that makes sense.

Did you take out a mortgage to buy all that?
Here's some. I need to get newer pics!

After 57 years of playing I have over 30, most bought used, some new. I made all of the amplifiers except my vintage 1968 SFDR with BFDR circuit..... I have probably spent more on amplifier components than I have guitars tho.....
Just think how much you would have invested if you were paid standard burdened labor hours building those amps!

Unfortunately my home office and guitar room are the same room...
... that being said, when the meeting is running long you can always put yourself on mute...
Not everything, but at least 75% of it (need to clean the office to get photos of the rest...
(Edited with some details)
Mostly the fender rack at this point:
Noventa Jazzmaster home build from mostly Fender parts and a Warmoth body
Fender 57 AV2 strat
Fender Ultra strat
Partscaster with Raiodshop Pickups Black strat set (see recent build report)
Gibson LP Standard bourbon burst
Gibson ES-335 - Mod collection figured iced tea burst
Breedlove accoustic
... and the black case just visible at bottom left is my SG...
... and some of the pedal rack... because who doesn't love dinosaurs!
Couple of oddball Chapmans. The T-style was the prototype for the ML-3 modern special run. The ghost fret is a one of a kind attempt at a blue burst finish. I kinda liked it...
Steggo and Steggi hanging out with the new Marshall - still on the Two-Rock cab, but I've got a more amp appropriate cab on the way.
50W Katana practice amp
Epiphone Alex Lifeson LP Axess (really good guitar!!!)

Here's a pic of my Marshall after I replaced the grillcloth with some Mojotone checkboard cloth. The Orange head and cabinet are gone, got traded for my SG Standard.
Here's my 1975 Twin Reverb. It's got the master volume, but it's pre ultralinear power transformer. I attemped to swap the 0.01uf caps to 0.02uf caps to slow the tremolo and somehow killed the tremolo. So the head is still sitting outside the cabinet while I figure it out.
Here's my SG Standard. Sort of my dream guitar (dream would be ebony, but I like Cherry too). I pulled the pcb shit out and replaced the pots with 500k CTS (linear volumes and logarithmic tones). The bridge pickup is a Wolfetone Marshallhead and the neck pickup is a Wolfetone Legend. The neck is slimmer than my other SG and it's really easy to play.
And here's my favorite guitar, my SG special. It's got Wolfetone Marshallheads in the neck and bridge. The pots are 500k mojotone vintage taper. I think screwed up and used linear for tone and log for volume, but I can't remember. I haven't taken the time to swap the pots around because hey it works. The TH30 head is long gone.
I've got a couple other guitars, but no pics at the moment.

Great job on that grill cloth. It looks perfectly crisp
