Stands GS414B PLUS AGS Tripod Guitar Stand

I love this. Very sturdy looks good easy to use

Superb best guitar stand I've ever had Worth the extra money It's strong and you cannot damage guitar due to rubber tubes over the metal. Recommended by me

This isn't my first Hercules stand. The first one I bought is still in perfect condition after ten years. This type of stand is essential for those 'odd' shaped basses/guitars ie, Thunderbird, Jazz etc as the guitar hangs from the headstock rather than the base of the guitar resting on a platform. I treated myself to a new Jazz bass, so needed another stand, and I didn't even consider any other brand. The Hercules (as mentioned) supports the guitar from the headstock, it also has a great system that closes two little bars/gates across the headstock when you hang the guitar on it which prevents it from being knocked off the stand. They also fold up nicely into a small manageable size. They are also can be adjusted to a good height and will easily accommodate my Thunderbird bass which is VERY long. Yes, I guess they are a little pricey, but consider the price of a good quality instrument - you don't want to take a chance with anything other than a top quality stand.

It’s a Hercules, well made, easy to use and will probably last longer than me. I particularly like the locking mechanism activated by the weight of the guitar. I also like the telescopic height adjustment which is good for my multi scale bass. Wouldn’t be any good for a headless instrument though.

This stand works great for Dingwall NG3’s, My bass is looks fantastic on this stand the build quality is great and has amazing stability. The height is adjustable and can fold flat. I love this stand for all these reasons. It has attachments that allow me to double it up as a banjo stand too.

Auto locking and opening mechanism is brilliant. Good solid quality.

The stand is sturdy and have that good quality feel - it's very comfortable and quick to take the guitar out and put it back in. However, as this is made to fit all guitars, it didn't quite fit my Fender Jag. What I mean by that is the back of the grip seems too high to the point of making the guitar rest on the first (low E) tuner and I don't think that's very healthy for the guitar itself. In the end, I had to make a small "improvement" with a stanley knife - see the photos. I'm not sure why this back "rest" is so thick but I guess they can't test it with all the guitars that are out there so I'm not too bothered about that. Overall, really happy with it.

Nobody can have too many guitars but they need to be stored with care. Hooks on walls, or leaving them in their cases turns them into unplayed ornaments in my experience. The Hercules stand is easy to assemble, come with variable height for longer necks and a clever clampy thing at the top that stop the instrument dropping onto the floor. Taking the guitar off the stand is simple - lift it upwards and the clampy thing disengages allowing instant access to your inner Steve, Joe, Yngwe or Matt.
