Guitar/Bass Stands

This was the first guitar I ever got. It was a present for Christmas and was about$500, fr5om where, I have no clue. This is an awesome acoustic. Everyone i know who plays guitar loves my acoustic. It has a great sound to it and is really easy to play. Mostly, it doesn't stay in tune for that long, and at that always goes flat. It's very well put together, and very sturdy. I've had it for 3 years now and have never had to get it serviced. Be careful though, It's very easy to ding up. I've got wuite a few of dents in it.. Over all, I love this guitar to pieces and don't plan on getting rid of it. Great guitar and a good buy. I highly recomned it. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

This is a great stand. Very sturdy and VERY well designed. There are 3 legs that lock in place, assuring they're open all the way and it's sturdy and won't fall down or be easily knocked over. The screw that keeps the stand set to the height you want it is a heavy duty, and sturdy one. I have complete faith that it will last longer than my guitar will. The part that supports the body is also very heavy duty. I have no worries about it failing. It's shaped so it can hold rounded bottom guitars (Like Strats, Teles. Les Pauls, ect) one way, and V's and other odd shaped guitars (like Randy Rhoads, B.C. Rich Warlocks, ect) if you turn it 180 degrees.. It has rubber on the part that supports the neck and the body to stop your guitar from getting scratched up when you set it on the stand. I have no clue how it affects Nitro finishes because I don't have a guitar with one, and I don't happen to have the manual anymore. It can come apart for easy storage, or collapse to make traveling with it easier. This is better than any other stand I've used. It's sturdier, better built, and a better value for the price. I had a stand once that broke when I put my guitar on it right at a weld. Poor welding, quality, and just a bad stand overall. This stand is not. This is one of the best stands on the market. From the moment I set my guitar on this, I knew I would never buy a different brand again. This is one of the best stands out there and it's easily affordable. Great stand for a great price, and I will never buy a different one again.

I've been using this Hercules Tri stand in my live setup for over 2 years now. I keep a strat, epi les paul and a double neck ovation acoustic on it for all shows. I had to have the first one I bought replaced because of a faulty connection but luckily I knew someone who worked for the company at the time so that wasn't a big deal. I had one sent out to me quickly. Other than having to tighten the nut screw at the headstock part of the stand (the part that holds all 3 guitars at the top), this stand has been a very good investment. It folds up at the top, the middle bar slides down and the leg base detracts, making it easy to pick up and transport and also saves a ton of space when packing your gear. It is a VERY solid stand, made out of what seems to be a certain type of metal. The guitars are held securely as there is a "lock" that folds up when the guitar's weight pulls down on the headstock of the stand. You don't need to keep 3 guitars on it for it to feel stable. 1 guitar works as well as 2. I've even picked the stand up by the middle metal bar with 3 guitars on it to move and it held up just fine, although I would rather not do this...but I always do...just makes things easier. If it broke or was stolen/lost, I would definitely buy another as it is the type of stand that I need for my band. There are other types that sit flat on the ground that are good too, but for my application, this stand is the way to go. The flat on the floor stands always give me trouble if I need to keep a guitar or two plugged in for live purposes as the cable will hit the ground and eventually will cause damage to the guitar's input jack.

I mostly play at my church's local youth group. We do some crazy stuff on stage (We once ended up with people swinging from the ceiling...), so I decided that I should probably get a decent guitar stand. After researching several options, the Hercules stand seemed the best route to go. I knew I needed a good stand, especially since my guitar, a BC Rich Warbeast NJ, is very pointy. I didn't want it hitting the hard concrete floor on one of it's points. Obviously the part I like the most about it is the whole locking feature. It works great and since it automatically locks when you set your guitar on the stand, you don't have to worry about putting some sort of rubberized band across the front of the yoke. The one thing I would change though is that it is still a little big when collapsed. The reason for this is because Hercules made this stand so that it also works for Bass guitars, so the actual stand can extend pretty high, much higher than you need for guitar. If Hercules Stands would make a separate model for Bass guitar it would allow the guitar stands to be collapsed further. Granted, this is a truly minor complaint, and it's by no means a deal-breaker. Just something I figured I would throw out there. :) Besides that, I can't really find any other fault in it. It's a sturdy stand that is very easy to adjust and keeps your guitar safe. All the parts that come into contact with your guitar are well padded, and won't leave scuff marks or scratches on your guitar. Overall, I can't recommend this stand enough. It will more than pay for itself the first time somebody trips over your guitar cable when you have it in the stand. I would gladly buy this stand again in a heartbeat. Honestly, $40 to protect your guitar from hitting the floor? Seems like a great deal to me!

The K&M Guitar Wall Mount is a simple device obviously giving you the ability to hang your guitar on your wall. These are useful in any place where you might want to grab your guitar quickly and easily. They're nice to have because unlike a stand they of course don't take up any space on the ground and are out of the way, while at the same time it's near enough to grab one quickly. K&M does have a few different versions of their guitar wall mounts, but this is the cheapest of what they've got. It's built pretty well and should definitely be able to hold up guitars of all shapes and sizes as long as it's mounted to the wall securely and on a surface that it's meant for. Once it's up on your wall you're good to go and can keep any of your guitars in an easy to see place whenever you get the urge to play or in the studio's case, whenever you want to lay down a part with a particular guitar. We have a whole wall of guitars that are mounted with some of these K&M Guitar Wall Mounts, ranging from Martin acoustics to Gibson Les Pauls, so it should be able to handle different guitars in terms of weight. I'd double check on this to make sure it's sturdy enough to hold up the guitar(s) you're thinking of hanging it on, but you should be just fine. The price is about the cheapest that you're going to find for something like this, as it's also probably best to get something that's sturdy enough to hold for as long as you need it. The last thing you'd want is for it to fall down along with your precious guitars. This should do the job for most users, but definitely do the proper research to make sure it will mount okay with whatever wall surface you're thinking of...
