The most unique of all guitar stand designs… Hercules GS525B – ( Amazon/ B&H/ Thomann).So they’re not perfect, but they’re still your best option in many cases. One solid whack can easily do major damage.Īlso, the padding for these racks are often fragile, and frequently has some degree of damage, even when brand-new. This is especially dangerous when placing a solid-body electric next to your delicate $2000 Martin acoustic. One thing I dislike about the rack design is that the guitars have a tendency to bump-up against each other if not carefully positioned. Of course, they aren’t without their flaws as well… in small home studios short on floor space.for long-term storage of guitars in their cases.
it’s more efficient – it can hold more guitars (ranging between 3-10) within a smaller floor space.
it’s more portable – it’s easier to setup, break down, and can be easily folded-up/packed away.Most people prefer this design over multi-guitar stands because: The “other” option for storing multiple guitars at once is to use a guitar rack instead. Ultimately though…if none of these potential problems are an issue in your case, a wall-hanging stand may be exactly what you’re looking for. (you can avoid this risk by using a wall bumper.)Īlso…if you’re using these stands in a recording studio, beware that a free-floating acoustic guitar may easily absorb sympathetic vibrations and add unwanted resonances to the room. Wall collisions are a risk – because some guitars will swing freely when used with certain neck cradles.Warping and cracking are a risk – because close-proximity to the wall increases temperature and humidity fluctuations in seasonal climates.Setup can be tricky – because improper mounting can result in a weak connection, which could eventually cause your guitar to fall off the wall.Of course, wall-hanging stands have their flaws as well… It looks cool – because it adds a decorative (and functional) piece of art to your otherwise boring room.It keeps your guitar safe from danger – because it stays clear of foot traffic, pets, and children.It doesn’t waste floor space – because its mounted on the wall, where extra space is plentiful.You might find a wall-hanging stand to be your ideal option. Like your music room, living room, or bedroom… If the majority of your guitar playing is confined to one small room…
