Feature:
One-piece design, grab and lock at the head stock is great, fully adjustable, fully locking telescoping parts.

Quality:
Built like a tank

Value:
Considering this is probably a lifetime purchase, this is great value.

Desirability:
Looks and feels the solidest of all stands I have seen/tried, and it is aesthetically appealing.

Sound:
Silent--as it should be!

Overall:
By far the best stand I have used. Sturdy, great looking, and foolproof. Good balance (i.e., nearly impossible to inadvertantly knock over), and easy and safe to use one-handed. One criticism (and the reason for the "8" in features): As with all other stands I've seen, the manufacturer uses polymer-based foam, known to chemically damage instrument lacquers if left in long-term contact. This damage is not theoretical--It has happened! If you own one of these stands, wrap or cover the foam parts with fabric.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Holds very secure and you can get your guitar off of it quickly by raising up on the guitar. The 2-guitar holder has wider feet for stability and just as easy to use as the single guitar stand. Also, I use the double stand for guitar and mandolin. No problems with using different instruments on the same stand. Obviously the mandolin is much lighter than the guitar, but still everything stays put. No tipping over problems.

Quality:
No problems with any of the working parts. Very well made.

Value:
Priced fairly, considering other products and how much better this is made.

Sound:
N/A

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use.

Support:
Never had to deal with support on these stands.

Overall:
I expect to be using this product for a long time. I have several instruments and when performing, I can switch out easily.

Feature:
Non-marring rubber and foam, locking height adjustments, automatic locking cradle... this is THE perfect guitar stand. It is the only stand I trust on stage!

Quality:
High quality metal. This thing won't bend, chip, or slip.

Value:
This is the one thing- it's pricey. $30 for a guitar stand!?!? To me, it was worth it, but I understand why some people will stick to the $12 models.

Desirability:
Looks very cool. Yellow/black color scheme works for me.

Overall:
This stand is amazing- yes, it's just a stand, but it's one heck of a stand. Highly recomended!

Feature:
I love it. I have a roundback guitar and this stand works great. It is easy to adjust the height to accomodate my electric guitar or my bass. I want to buy more of them for the studio.

Quality:
I have used it for over a year and it works as good as new.

Value:
It was a little on the spendy side, but it really works.

Overall:
I love the one I have and will eventually buy at least two more.

Feature:
What more could you want? It holds the guitar, locks the headstock in place automatically, and the length of the stand is adjustable with a simple spring-loaded lever, as is the back support. Very nicely done. My only gripe is with the foam used to cushion the headstock area and the back of the guitar. It is supposed to be safe for all finishes. -2 for that - I'll explain below.

Quality:
Very well built, it will definitely hold up. The brand is called "Hercules."

Value:
They're a bit more expensive than a basic guitar stand, and the quality and features reflect this in the price. It's still a little too expensive for a stand.

Desirability:
It's different, and it looks nice.

Sound:
The aluminum tubing/foam combo give this stand a unique resonance with tons of sustain. Just kidding.

Support:
Never had to deal with them.

Overall:
I really like this stand but as others have pointed out, the foam is not really safe for all finishes as it's advertised. I use this stand for my Les Paul clone, and there are tiny little "acne" spots where the foam comes in contact with the top of the neck where the headstock blooms out. They are very small and hard to see, and it hasn't burned the finish completely off as another reviewer has reported, but something will have to be done about that foam. Otherwise the stand is excellent, and I would definitely buy another.

Feature:
The "head" gravity lock is great, and suspending by the neck allows for even odd body shapes. Plus, the balance is such that it's the most stable stand I've ever seen.

Quality:
Quality through and through... I just wish the "collar" at the top of the tripod was black instead of yellow...

Value:
It's a bit more expensive, but absolutely worth it. The features and quality far outweigh the price.

Desirability:
It puts your guitar on display... what else can I say?

Sound:
It doesn't make any sound at all... not one bump or squeak!

Overall:
Best guitar stand I've ever owned.

Feature:
Well I bought this stand about 5 months ago and loved it from day one. I own a Jackson Randy Rhoads Pro issue which was over a grand just for the guitar alone and it looks great on it. Now I am reading other peoples reviews and notice they are talking about the finish coming off their headstocks and when I read those I ran to my guitar and saw the same DAMN thing! DO NOT GET THIS STAND if you care about your guitar. Who is going to pay for everybodys tainted guitars??????? The foam damages your guitar so dont get it! LIARS!!!!!

Quality:
This stand is built good but like i said ....if you have a nice guitar dont use it

Value:
The price doesnt matter because I would pay anything to keep my guitar healthy.....but look what happened anyway.

Sound:
there is no sound

Ease of Use:
Yeah eay to use at least

Overall:
Overall I give it two thumbs down and two middle fingers up

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!

Quality:
This is where the stand sucks. There are two main problems. First, as mentioned by others, the padding takes the finish off the quitar at the head stock. I had a new Gibson ES335 in the stand for less than a week before I noticed burns in the finish where the padding grabs the neck. Second, the closure grips can scratch the neck if you remove the guitar from the stand too quickly.

Value:
All in all, this stand should be illegal to sell to anyone who has a guitar that is worth anything.

Overall:
I gave it away to Goodwill.
