This is no ordinary guitar stand, this is like the absolute best guitar stand you can buy. The construction and quality of it is the best you will find. Very sturdy but also easy to collapse and store. The base and neck rests have excellent padding so whether you've got an original 59' or a squire you found in the garbage, rest assured this stand is safe and sturdy. I've owned some inexpensive stands that were flimsy and felt like they could topple with a heavy guitar in it but, this is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum. If anyone ever asks me to recommend a guitar stand, and the price is a secondary concern, this is the one, 100%.

I've been gigging with this for a while now with no issues. It's a little pricey, but it also protects your guitar onstage if someone bumps into it and it falls forward, protecting the neck. Guitars aren't cheap, so it's definitely sturdy and folds up perfectly.

Really sturdy stand. I leave it up and don't tear it down and set it up regularly so I can't speak to that durability. However, it is well built and sturdy even when holding a heavy 5 string bass. I do like the way that it holds the neck in place to avoid knocking the guitar off the stand.

Very nice stand i have purchased five stands but i have had a failure and the company has not responded to a phone message or an email request for replacement parts. Good product… crappy company

I bought this stand because it is the only one supports your guitar from the bottom AND it has nitrocellulose-safe foam. There are very few stands on the market with both features today. It seems that most hold your guitar from the neck only and inevitably drop it when the bolt holding all the weight gives way, and the ones that hold it from the bottom don't use nitro-safe foam. Neither is an issue for this stand, though.The forks that hold the guitar up at the bottom are the perfect width -- wide enough to hold confidently but narrow enough that they don't interfere if you leave your guitar plugged-in. They actually feel a little bit flexible, even.Very sturdy and has a low center of gravity so it feels solid as a rock. It folds up using a system of spring-loaded pins, very durable.Now that I have tried this out, I plan to replace my other stands with these.

I've had my stand for a few days now. Very easy to set up, there is nothing to adjust. Just unfold the pieces until they click solidly in place. The unit is heavy, especially the bottom, and the footprint is large, providing great stability.The shaft, and overall height is shorter than I expected. I kept looking for a way to adjust the height. It's not necessary, even for something like a bass. I like it better, but I'm still adapting. For example, when I move the guitar/stand pair, I need to grip them lower down. Not a big deal, except that my other stands are different.The shock absorption is a BS selling point. There's not much absorption. More like a plastic collar that makes an intentionally loose joint where the stand meets the base. The "absorption" is directional, front-to-back. Side-to-side, you're on your own. It's fine, but only because it's unnecessary. It's not worth more money. The stand is still worth some bucks, though, because of the thick gauges of metal, and the overall solid and stable design.The one thing I don't care for is the hard plastic tips where the foam ends. Both on the front of the base, and particularly on the neck grip. There's no way to avoid these coming into contact with the instrument, unless you're ridiculously careful slipping the neck in and out. I don't know if it'll scratch thin nitro lacquer, but since the whole stand is not "padded" with hard plastic, I have to assume it probably will. I would much rather have the end be foam, all the way. I can think of a few ways to manufacture and assemble it efficiently. Hercules should, too.As it is, I'm probably going to cover the ends with something, not sure what. Has to be nitro safe, after all. Probably I'll make little cotton "hats", out of multiple layers of T-shirt fabric. But jeez, I already make T-shirt 'tubes' to fit the cheap foam on the cheap stands. Makes me think I could have got by with the $10 stand, especially if I still have to retrofit crap to make it really work. C'mon Hercules...

This is the stand I have been looking for to hold my high-end, custom built OM guitar. It is a little big, maybe 'less portable' than a small floor stand, and heavier than a cheap rest-in stand of comparable style. But if you are looking at a Hercules stand, you are looking for that top-quality, rugged, not el-cheapo, dependable stand. This is it, hands-down. You can buy a $10 stand. You might even find it for $5 on a blowout sale. You're getting $2 worth of crappy metal. Do you trust your instrument to that? This is all one-piece, fold-out, design that you can absolutely depend on. It hold the instrument securely and is not awkward or loose at all. If your guitar costs more than this stand, then you should buy this stand. Protect your investment, without worry. Great product.
