Guitar Stands

We stock trusted brands like Hercules, Fender, Ultimate Support and String Swing—each one built to keep your guitars secure, protected and always within reach when inspiration strikes.

Choosing the Right Guitar Stand for Your Space and Setup

The best stand depends on how and where you play. Floor stands offer quick access and easy portability—ideal for rehearsals and gigs. Touring guitarists often prefer foldable or collapsible designs that travel well, while multi-instrument racks are a smart choice for studios or home collections. If you’re looking to free up floor space or display your gear, wall hangers provide a secure, stylish option that keeps your favorite guitars front and center.

What are the pros and cons of stands vs. wall hangers?

Stands

• Pros: Portable, no installation required, quick access
• Cons: Take up floor space; may tip if bumped

Wall Hangers

• Pros: Save space, secure and stylish, great for display
• Cons: Require wall mounting; not ideal for frequent repositioning

Are guitar stands safe for all finishes?

Most modern stands use rubber or foam padding that’s safe for polyurethane finishes. If your guitar has a nitrocellulose finish, look for “nitro-safe” labeling or place a protective cloth between the guitar and stand to prevent long-term damage.

What kind of stand is best for a bass or acoustic guitar?

Larger instruments benefit from stands with wide cradles, strong neck support or adjustable height. Some wall hangers are also designed to hold heavier bodies like basses and dreadnoughts securely.

Can I use one stand for multiple guitars?

Yes—multi-guitar racks are built for that purpose. They’re perfect for home studios, rehearsal rooms and touring setups. Look for padded dividers to keep instruments from knocking against each other.
