Do you mean "brand" as in the brand of guitars? The biggest one in
the front looks like it could be a Gibson ES 335, except that the
pickguard is missing (you can see a screw hole where it used to be)
and the mother-of-pearl inlays on the fingerboard don't look like
original Gibson, so it may be an imitation Gibson.
Gibson did make some ES-335 models with the rectangle inlays (but not
the slashed kind shown). You can see a screw hole where the pick guard
was removed.
But, the pickups are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! Gibson pickups would be
similar to the sunburst "Les Paul" behind it.
Definitely a knock-off and likely one of the cheaper ones.
The cream colored "Les Paul" and the sunburst "Les Paul" are almost
certainly knock-offs as well. The cream one also has the wrong pickups
and a wrong pick guard; the sunburst is just too cheap to be Gibson,
even in their lowest, most degraded quality control early 80s period
(think Harley-Davidson just before AMF sold them).
All of the "Les Paul" guitars look like knock-offs, unless the black one
on the right hand edge is genuine ... which I doubt.
The three guitars behind it (the blue, cream and red-yellow sunburst
coloured ones) are Gibson Les Pauls or imitation Les Pauls. Judging
by the long distance between the bridge and end-piece (which you can't
even see) of the cream one, it's not a genuine Les Paul, unless it's
been modified. Les Pauls are oft-imitated, being (along with the
Fender Stratocaster) the pre-eminent rock guitar since the birth of
rock and roll.
I can't tell you what the other instruments in the window are.
The guitar on the far left is a Danelectro Longhorn bass, probably a
reissue from the 90s.

Behind that is a banjo.
