Feature:
If you have a guitar and you DON'T want the finish damaged, then DO NOT BUY THIS STAND!!! I got this stand on Monday March 7, 2005 at 5 p.m., put my vintage '85 G&L L2000 bass in it and let it hang over night. It did look really good in the stand I have to admit. But to my shock, the next day when I picked up the bass to play it, the finish had been completely burned off on both sides of the headstock where it had been hanging in the stand. I mean the glossy finish was completely burned off! Looked almost like someone had put a cigarette lighter to it. The manufacturer says its "specially formulated foam" or SFF is safe for all guitar finishes. That claim is definitely NOT TRUE. If you want to protect your guitar's finish, then don't put it in this stand!
Quality:
I would have given it a "10." It's well made except for the SFF foam that WILL DAMAGE YOUR GUITAR'S FINISH!!! Since it damaged mine after less than one day of use, I'm giving it a "1" for WORST.
Value:
If it damages your guitar's finish as it did mine, it is not worth buying at any price!
Desirability:
Would (and did)have great appeal initially, but the foam damaged my bass guitars finish after less than one day of use. As you can tell, I'm more than just a little upset...
Support:
I'm confident I will get my money back for the stand, but that's little consolation after what happened to my bass guitar's finish.
Overall:
Great design, and concept I really like the pressure sensitive locking mechanism, but flawed materials. The SFF foam is hazardous to a guitar finishes health. It certainly was damaging to mine!
