They fold up nice and compact too. They're made by a company called Kinsman,

This is my El Cheapo APX4a sitting on the acoustic version

Re: Guitar Stands - Which one do you use?

At home, when practicing/playing I rarely use a stand. When I play my acoustics if I need to set it down I just put it back in the case. When I play electrics I have a cheapo stand that I have right there to set it on. When I gig I have two single Hercules stands. They work well & the likelihood of them getting knocked over is rare. They are very stable & very strong.

There are a number of different types of guitar stands available on the market, which leads to the following poll question...

Why not buy a stand that suites the beauty of your instrument and expresses your love for it?

Hercules auto grips.

Think the first decent stand I bought was an Ultimate , kind of a folding A frame type had it 20 years at least. I have a bunch of the Hercules stands 1 ,2 and 3 guitars set up in my room and a few wall hangers too. When I get a guitar it gets a case , straplocks, a strap and a stand. I carry one of these in the bag of everything too

My pointies don't fit very will on any stand, so I get the regular tube frame stand and drill them higher, so they pivot enough to fit the points. I'll take a picture later.

I have an Explorer and a Jackson RR hanging on the Hercules 3 now , never had an issue with pointy guitars and stands once I bought them. Wall hangers work great for them too? When I first got the single Hercules to start out.

Wall hangers and cheapest floor stands I can find

When GC had the musiciansgear stands on sale for $5 each I got several

Same with wall hangers
I got four hangers up now and five more of the fretrest to put up

I really want to get my guitars off the floor

Late to the party here! Just wanted to throw in my two cents... I agree with the fellow posters and guitar stand guides like this one and this one... Hercules are absolutely fantastic. Personally I prefer the floor stands, as sturdy as wall hangers are I just don't think they can be trusted as much as their floor-level counterparts.

Alternatively if anyone can recommend a good wall hanger I'd love to know!

I use the Off the Wall hangers. They look good and are really sturdy.

Re: Guitar Stands - Which one do you use?

I have a 7 or 8 of these guys, I liked them a lot back when they were popular so I bought all I could find on eBay. I have several at home and leave the rest of them at my gig (church). They are sturdy, stable and seem to support all my different guitars and basses very well.
