What does your home studio look like?

I'm always curious how other people set up their gear.
At the moment, mine looks like this. Messy.
But I do have a devoted sound engineer!

My BR rests on a sofa or table and I plug my guitar into it. I do the vocals walking around. That's my studio!

That's not messy! At least you have a dedicated area for it. I have to make do with living rooms and bathrooms, lol

It's not that dedicated; it is also my study/computer room/flight sim cockpit and very very small. There's no escape!

SdC, I don't want to go off topic (my home study is my home office, storage space, hide things from the kids, wife and myself room - that takes care of that) but can you tell me about the Roland GK2A unit.  I get that it is a guitar synth but what does it connect to, amp or computer or something else.  I'm intrigued.

The GK-2a is just the pickup-unit (note the extra pick-up next to the bridge). In my case plugged into the Roland GR-33 (synth in pedalboard form http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=237). Roland now also makes "v-guitar" amp cabinets etc.
Now you can buy the newer pickup gk-3 as true build-in kit so you can integrate it in the guitar just like fender does in their "Roland Ready" strats.

Godin also makes V-guitar ready guitars.
I had the gk-2 taped to the body for years but recently I gave my Strat a full Service and carved a couple of holes in the body for it. Plays, looks and feels a lot better

Thanks.  That's quite interesting.  Do you think guitar synths will get a bigger hold of the market?  With the price of keyboard midi controllers and software packages, it seems like they have a hard road in front of them.

Wow mine sure can't compete with yours!

Couldn't tell, but I'm glad Roland keeps working on it, as the only one, for decades now. Steady progress.

I didn't mean to show off, honestly
It's just. that recording, down to the nuts and bolts gets me real excited. And I am curious about how y'all get it done. There lives a roadie in me!
