Excellent Space-saving Accessory for the Electric Guitarist
As suggested by the title, this item is a fantastic way to cram more electric guitars into your room, studio, panel van, or den of iniquity (such as it is). The problems begin, however, when one attempts to place acoustic guitars onto this stand. It really is not accommodating of guitars that are more than two or so inches thick, which means that even vibrato arms (or "tremolo," if you're special like Leo ((see also; "whammy bar," if you want to sound like you're twelve years-old))) can cause problems. That being said, if you have a bunch of hardtail electric guitars, or vibrato-equipped guitars from which you don't mind removing the vibrato arm every time you're finished futzing around with them, then this could very well be your solution. Now that's out of the way, I will address the quality of this unit's manufacture and durability. It came with a warranty, so if you're one of those needing that reassurance ("Let's think about this for a sec, Ted. Why would somebody put a Guarantee on a box?") then there it is. My experience setting this stand up was only mildly frustrating, but I will admit that I consider myself proficient with all manner of tools and also find myself adept at following instructions. Your experience may differ. Once set up, the stand is solid enough. I trust it to securely hold any combination of my electric guitars and basses. As it pertains to durability, I have no intention of transporting this apparatus, but it does appear to be quite sturdy and it does have the capability to fold down for easier mobility. All in all, for the price I paid, this is a good deal and compares very favorably to stands costing two or three times more. The only reason I did not give this item five stars is because it does not work for acoustic guitars (you can get them in there, but it is very likely you will cause scratches or dings). So, if you have five electric guitars with conventional shapes (I'm not sure how well a Vee, Explorer, Iceman, or any of the other odd, Halloween-cookie-type guitars would fit) then this is probably the best/cheapest game in town. Good luck!
