My Review: The Hola-! Music Universal Guitar Stand is an affordable tubular stand that is as stable as it is versatile in securing different types and styles of string instruments. It has several features that can make guitar storage so much easier. There are also instances of personal clumsiness. You can be so engrossed in what you are reading or talking to in your phone that you did not see the guitar stand in your path. The next thing you know, you hear a loud crash and the spectacle of shards from your guitar. People call them the A-frame guitar stand because of the characteristic shape of the frame. It looks like an inverted letter V, but with a horizontal connecting bar somewhere between the two legs. A-frame guitar stands may look flimsy and unstable. Their stability depends on the length of the two horizontal bars that serve as the feet of the frame. The longer the bars are, the more stable the stand is. The space between the two legs also account for the stability of the A-frame stand. The wider the distance, the lower is the center of gravity. This makes the A-frame more stable. One advantage of the A-frame is that it is a true space-saver. Many of these products also have a collapsible design, allowing for ease of transportation and storage. Recording in studio, performing on the road, or relaxing at home - HERCULES are stands you can trust . Features Even in the case of a very sturdy stand, there is still the risk of toppling over. You may have small children in your home or even pets. When kids play and they run, they could swipe at the guitar and cause the stand to tumble. This is the same with pets, such as cats and dogs.

If you have been following my articles, you will know that I am not a huge fan of the guitar stand. I prefer a guitar hanger because of the few advantages it offers over a guitar stand. Of course, you and I have different preferences. Another excellent feature of the Hercules is its lifetime warranty. Spending that little extra on quality is made even more worthwhile when you know that any defects will be sorted by the manufacturer. The industry standard for guitar stand warranties is around 2 years so for a product to be covered for its lifetime adds real value in our opinion. Versatility There is also the risk of affecting the overall integrity of the guitar stand. Frequent assembly and disassembly can somehow loosen connections. The stand can have loose threads. Ease of assembly and disassembly should never come at the expense of the integrity of the guitar stand. While there are plenty of options available to you, investing in a premium stand can save you having to fork out for repairs further down the line.

Customer reviews

My Review: Fender loyalists will always want a Fender stand for their guitars. Whether you have a Stratocaster or a CD-60S, your guitars will feel right at home in the Fender 5 Multi Guitar Stand.

HERCULES takes great pride in providing you with the highest quality and most trusted stands in the world. HERCULES had conducted numerous trials on our SFF foam and is pleased to conclude that the foam does NOT react with the large majority of popular instrument finishes on the market, including Nitrocellulose. These trials included subjecting an assortment of high end and budget friendly instruments on our variety of stands to punishing heat, bitter cold and common room temperatures for periods of up to six months without disruption. Ultimately, a handful of wall hangers (if you’ve got multiple guitars) plus a stand or two, for when the guitar is in frequent use – the studio for example – is an ideal combination that should cater for all environments. We know, buying one of each sounds like it could get expensive, but the good news is that you can get some really great guitar stands and hangers for really good prices. If you do want to have both a stand and a hanger, but finances won’t allow that right now, a stand is a great place to start and then look to invest in hangers down the line. How we choose the best guitar stands Other than stowing your guitar safely away in a case, there are two main types of guitar storage solutions. A guitar stand sits on the floor, upon which your guitar will safely sit, with some support to ensure it doesn’t topple over. Stands take up more room than a guitar hanger, but they make switching instruments nice and easy. A guitar hanger on the other hand will be mounted onto your wall – so may not suit DIY-phobes – which means it takes up less room, however, it won’t be quite as instantly accessible as a guitar stand. If you are serious about your guitar playing adventures, you will want to get a stand that has adjustable features. This is perfect for those who can foresee upgrading their guitar in the not-so-distant future. An adjustable guitar stand allows you to store different types and styles of guitars. A good example is the electric guitar. Different manufacturers often create their signature style. This is not always the case with acoustic guitars because of the different manner in which acoustic guitars produce sound.This guitar stand just feels more stable than many of its competitors, and even when at its maximum adjustable height, it doesn’t budge left or left at all, preventing it from accidentally tipping over at any point. The three legs are longer than many stands, allowing you to stabilize the stand wherever you decide to place it. The stand comes with a self-centering bottom yoke and the entire stand has a collapsible design for convenient storage when not in use.

My Review: There are some of us who want a unique guitar stand, while still retaining its ability to secure our guitar. One such product is the CAHAYA X-Frame Guitar Stand. As the name implies, this is a stand that features an X configuration.

Why Should I Choose a Hercules Guitar Stand?

My Review: I love to call the On Stage GS7465 as the A-frame guitar stand with a fascinating twist. This device is as stable and space-saving as any other A-frame guitar stands you may see. However, it also has a unique element that On Stage borrowed from tubular guitar stands. This is a guitar stand that is quite rare. It bears some semblance to a tubular guitar stand, except that a walk-up guitar stand has a different purpose. The main reason why we buy guitar stands is to store and protect our musical instruments. This is not the purpose of a walk-up guitar stand. Its main goal is to put the guitar in the best possible playing position ready for you to start with your gig. Get this. The Heli 2 also comes with four different width adjustments. This is perfect for accommodating different string instruments. The non-marring rubber also safeguards the integrity of your guitar. There are artists who use different musical instruments when performing. For example, one artist may play the piano in the verse of the song and then plays the guitar during the chorus. Having a walk-up stand will allow the artist to position the guitar on the stage ready for him to play in an instant. If you are still interested in getting a guitar stand, the first thing you have to decide on is the type of stand that you will want to buy. The following are the types of guitar stands you need to know. A-Frame Guitar Stands

My Review: I am not sure which came first: the PlutuX or the Donner DS-3? Both of these guitar stands come with a traditional A-frame design. The difference is the choice of wood for the frame. Whereas PlutuX opts for oak or walnut, Donner uses natural acacia. The main advantage of acacia is that it is about 23 percent harder and stronger than oak. However, there will still be those products that are poorly constructed. Putting the different parts together is like solving a jigsaw puzzle with the puzzle pieces coming from different boxes. Hercules Stands are designed to be attractive, strong, safe and easy to use. No one wants to put their beloved guitar on a stand that might fall over or slip – which is why you should go for Hercules if you want the best for your instrument. It goes without saying that the Donner DS-3 is a beautiful guitar stand. I will not be ashamed to make this guitar stand an important element in my living room. Placing my guitar in it should be a wonderful conversation piece with guests.

Hercules has a reputation for developing strong and secure stands for several instruments. We found that this was also the case for the GS414B with its core features revolving around its strength and stability. Avoiding leaving your guitars in direct sunlight is a simple way to mitigate this. Aside from protecting the rubber on the stand, it will also protect your guitar its self. Make sure you read all about how to look after your instruments properly. What are the Best Alternatives to the Hercules CS414B?
