Looking for a guitar stand...

Hey…I did see these from K&M, but $$$

Pretty simple though…wonder if they’re “nitro safe”?….easy fix though.

I have a couple and they're alright, but a large bodied/neck heavy guitar can render them less stable. A bass guitar is a challenge for them. Regular non-pointy electrics are OK.

The ones you're looking for, Steve, seem to be the FS100E model.

Proline Electric Guitar Stand FS100E - Proline

I'm seeing some ads (some sold) on Reverb, eBay and co. Why not just ask your local GC if they can stock them?

I have a variation of the K&M one that was posted earlier-
K&M 17540 Transluzent

It is very strudy and hard to knock over. An added bonus is that the angle can be adjusted, so that even guitars with weird shapes can fit in.
I also can assure that at least the translucent version is 100% nitro safe. My Custom Shop LP with Aniline Dye back is resting on that stand for 8 years now and the only thing that has happened, is that the stand has some faint red spots. There are absolutely no visible marks on the guitar itself.

I'm looking for a guitar stand like the 2 I have, but I can't find one. I've had these forever and now I need a 3rd. One is a Fretrest, the other is a Dixon. Apparently neither one makes these any more, they make a version with bigger hooks that hold an electric or an acoustic, but I don't want that, I want one like this that the hooks are only for an electric guitar. Anyone know where I can get one like this?

Lots on Amazon. Get a floor rack or hanging hooks instead.

I used to hang them on the wall and I still have 4 wall hangers, but I can't use them here in my apartment or I would.

Something about those neck "hangers" just seems like they would be easy to knock over. I don't know, it just looks like that to me. And those legs/feet look like they take up a lot of real estate.

Well, the "legs/feet look like they take up a lot of real estate" is what makes them stable.
I like the neck hangers with no bottom support because I knocked a cheap LP copy of a bottom rest stand a long time ago.
Guitar fell straight forward, landed flat on the fretboard, and snapped the head clean off at the nut.
Wasn't worth fixing and I binned the guitar, and that stand.

LP: "Ohhh... please... the wind is too strong, my neck is going to .... [CRACK]"
Tele: "Oh, you dropped me down the stairs. Like I give a damn."

Promise us that IF you find out close to what you want you won't refinish it...

I keep saying I'm going to make some small fold outs, have surgical tubing to test with lacquer finishes but haven't.
