Hercules Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs

Adjustment handle deteriorated to point it could not be used. Two units had to be trashed in less than 10 years. Such problems should not occur at this price point - or any price point.

I use it for outdoor gigs on windy pool decks by the beach. It stands up firm and straight and holds my guitar securely. When the gig is over, it folds up nice and small.

The plastic adjustment breaks down after 1 to 2 years and the stand is not only useless, it's impossible to handle because of the sticky substance associated with the disintegration of the plastic. A piece of JUNK at best.

The stand sat in my practice room holding my bass guitar for about 2 years. It stayed in the room and I never took it to a gig. It sat there never moved or never adjusted to hold a different guitar. One day, I took out my bass to practice and the plastic grip simply fell apart. The pins and the spring fell apart on the floor. The plastic grip and the adjustment knob for the legs were sticky and gummy and left a residue on my hands and fingers. No one else uses this stand. It's been rendered useless. I loved the upper portion that held the guitar neck, but the adjustment apparatus is poorly designed and made from unsuitable material.

I had 3 of these, all broken within two years. the top clamps break and will not open and close to secure a guitar, the plastic melts if left in a car on a hot day and become too sticky to touch,like a melted ball of tar,and one time the spring and pins popped out of the handle. Cheap junk.

This is the second one of these standsxthat I've purchased. They hold my guitar or bass securely and yet they come apart for easy transporting. Since it comes apart it fits very nicely in my gear bag with my Hercules morning c stand and Hercules Golding music stand. I would whole heartedly recommend these products.
