Fender is one of the brands I've used it for Electic basses and guitars styled after the 50s. The product would be too small, if it were to To begin with, I'd go to the store and test them out.
Whether I'm using my Gibson Les Paul or my Fender Strat- I use it as a stand The bottom space for the guitar is about 2 inches deep. The space for the acoustic guitar is about the same depth as the electric guitar. Typical acoustic (or acoustic/electric) guitars don't fit in that slot, so it won't accommodate them. Small and sturdy, it lasts a long time.
With the strap attached, it does not fit well with the Steinberger Spirit.
There is an actual area of 8 inches by 2 1/2 inches. Maybe made to fit electric guitars and basses, or perhaps thin bodied electric guitars like the This stand has been a great buy for me. For about two years, we have used it heavily. The package was very compact and there was no problem.
Selected User Reviews For Hercules GS402BB Mini Electric Stand with Bag, Black
Those made by Hercules are my favorites. It is easier to keep things secure with hanging stands The entire stand must fall in order for the instrument to fall Using a tilt stand, the instrument could tip over sideways if it was A Fender Jazz bass or other bass with an offset body would seem to be more suitable for this. The bass is also secured under the headstock of the hanging stand when it is hanging, so there are no worries about the support bumping into the control knobs of For all those reasons, I had to buy a tilt-stand because I bought a headless bass, and a headless bass cannot be supported on a hanging stand. For this bass, this mini stand is fantastic, so I'm giving this a five-star review. It's more difficult to use than a hanging stand because I need to make sure my headless bass doesn't bump any control knobs, as well as due to the fact that my bass has two strap buttons on the bottom, so I have to align my support However, it works without much effort, and the stand can be disassembled into a very small space, so I'll give it A small nitpick During transport, the drawstring broke on the may have been my fault. I recall that the bag was caught in a hinge on my folding cart, so maybe the cord got cut? It's no big deal, as the bag is still usable - plus, it's an added bonus to have I'd say it's a should be rather than a must.
I bought several of these stands because they are strong, have a good form factor, and were reasonably priced. In spite of this, the soft foam tube on which the instrument is situated is not at all durable, and unfortunately I had to repair This is not a big deal, I thought, maybe it can just be slipped off, and another piece of foam added? In the opinion of Hercules customer support, "Our foam is exclusive to Hercules formulation, as well as not produced by other companies, as the foam is added to our stands at the factory and is in no way removable or reworkable in the field. We apologize for any inconvenience. In just a matter of time, my other headphones will become damaged as well. As a result, my $40 stand will be rendered useless due to a 10 cent piece of foam that most certainly could be replaced in the field if the manufacturer were to do so. My latex tubing is the same diameter as the hole, so I can make the repair myself.
A short scale Les Paul copy that I keep nearby for practicing at work inspired me to buy this. There were some broken pieces of plastic and a spring in the bottom of the box, so I was a bit worried. It's clear from an inspection that the plastic bits and spring are not part of the stand, but the rear posts near the cradle lack padding or caps. I couldn't replace those parts on Amazon, but since they don't actually touch the guitar's finish, I decided to keep it instead of returning Thanks to Amazon, I got a $5 credit, so I'm going to look for some foam insulation and plastic caps to fix this. As well as all that, it's a really good guitar stand, and the upright arm is positioned low enough so that it rests below the heel joint of the guitar's short body. This stand is about 2" from the cradle arm, so I can sit the guitar in it while plugged in without any issues. So, even though this stand is $45 on Sweetwater, I'm glad I bought it on Amazon, even with the hiccups!.
The pros are The following *br Metal construction for durability and long-term use - -Folds up extremely compactly - Design that is smart The structure sits low to the ground- A variety of widths can be accommodated by the adjustable arms- *Fees are inexpensive* Footprint of the stage is small - This item is housed in a carry bag that is included- The safest way Cons Does what it's supposed to do, but it's not perfect. The following *br This is not a guitar stand you would trust with an asymmetrical guitar
Overall I am very happy with this little stand . It's super portable and reliable. I use it for full scale basses that are heavier and longer than guitars, and I have not had any issues. An instrument would have to be thrown with a lot of force to fall. Only the fact that the rating is not a 5 keeps this from being a 5 The only reason I don't give it a 5 star review is that I find it uncomfortable to use with my Jazz basses because they have unevenly shaped Without a uniform and symmetrical bottom bout, it would not work on anything, like a Firebird, a Flying V, or anything else. I've been gigging with this stand for well over a year now, and I highly recommend it if that isn't a problem for you.
In contrast to the Hercules Mini, the Hercules Travlite has more points of contact with the guitar (4 for the Travlite, 3 for the Mini) thus making it a bit more stable, especially if you and/or I bump into the stand. I got the Hercules Mini because the small size makes it easier to store. My gig bag could be compressed larger because it has fewer slats when folded, but it was still very sturdy. Its narrow size allowed me to reduce the size of my bag even more. To that end, I still use the Hercules Travlite for working on the computer and recording. It's just not while you're traveling or gigging.
