  • Multi-guitar stands recommendations?

    In my never-ending quest to spend more time playing, I've decided that I need to keep a couple of guitars out on stands for easy access. OK, I have a couple of stands, but since my place is small, I thought maybe purchasing one of those multi-guitar stands woud be a good idea. Does anyone use a particular model that they could recommend? Stability is important, obviously, but I also need to be sure that the guitars don't bump into each other too much... I've already got a nick on one of my axes from using my bassist's "rockstand" at practice ... So, what are you guys using?? Thanks.

    I've got a warwick rockstand that holds 7. as long as you're careful about putting them on the rack and taking them off, you're good. not great for pointier bodies though.

      I have a triple stand similar to this that I don't use. http://www.music123.com/Musicians-Ge...22958.Music123

      Just send me a few bucks for shipping and it's yours if you want it.

        TJ - Thanks man. I'm really looking for something that has all of the guitars accesible from the front. Since space is the issue, I want to have something as streamlined as possible.

        Sully- Is your rockstand a curved one, or straight across? You don't find it wobbly at all? The one I've used at practice just doesn't feel very sturdy, and it's only a 3 guitar stand...hmmmm...:think:

          No problem, Kenn. Good luck with your search.

            It's in storage now, but I have 7-guitar stand like this one that worked well.

            I don't remember the exact brand. Just make sure the soft foam won't react with the guitar finish. When I had it on a bare wood floor, I'd keep some bubble wrap on the floor within the rectangle, just to make sure no bruises would occur. Like others with this style, it's better with strat-types and less so with pointed bodies.

              While it's better at holding roundies, would that one be able to hold the Kelly fine? Considering the long rear bout, which is rounded far more than an Explorers, I'm guessing more slippage would occur, would it?

                You can get 9 on a 7 Rockstand if you've got a low-traffic area (i.e. no kids or company walking around the stand) - the two extra can sit on the outer edges, though they won't have the fretboard bar.

                I keep my beaters on the outside ends and the "good stuff" in the center.

                As was stated, they're not good for Kellys and such. Strats and other round-butts work best.


                Mine seems stable enough. Not all the bolts would line up (yay China), so one joint is held with only 1 bolt, but I can live with it.

                  Hey Kenn, mine is the straight one. I've had it for about 8 years or so, and as long as you keep the bolts tight, you're good. You could always make one if you were so inclined; the custom shop has a few neat holders that they use.

                    Rockstands are very cool, just make sure the guitar is seated good before you let go of it!

                      Hang em on a wall. Looks cool and access is the best I've used bar none.

                        After getting mine, I seriously thought about building one. PVC pipes and elbows and such and pipe-wrapping foam should do the trick.

                          Good info guys, thanks. Bombtek, I'd love to hang 'em, but it's an apartment... No holes in walls, unfortunately.

                          I think I may have found a solution though. Check this out:

                          Seems sturdy enough, and holds the necks in place nicely. Anyone ever used something like this, or the similar one from Fender?

                            Looks good - a poor mans Ultracase!
                            I have seen a few of those used - they seem pretty good, especially for the price

                              Kenn, those are pretty sweet. My old guitar tech had something similar, could be an ultracase, but those are cool and that's a great price for that.
