Questions & Answers
This rack is 36" wide, 30" tall, and 13" deep, which you are correct about. 25" deep.
I liked the color and design of the rack. I rescued a slew of guitars from the floor and put them away in a secure location. Rack that is both attractive and functional. Having previously refinished furniture, I recommend thoroughly sanding the wood before applying your desired stain.
It's relatively simple for someone who is self-assured and generally skilled in this area. Due to being overconfident and not closely reading the instructions, I made a couple of easily correctable mistakes on my first try. But after taking it apart and reassembling it, I got it right the second time. br>br>If you're nervous about it, it sounds like you might have some difficulties, so I'd suggest enlisting the help of a friend who is experienced in this area. br>br>The instructions are clear and accurate, but there are a few subtleties in the way the pieces are oriented and aligned that I missed the first time. If you carefully follow the instructions, lay it out on a large table or the floor first, then put it together exactly as the instructions show, any competent handyperson should be able to get it right the first time. and tell. br>br>NOTE: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be I did not glue the pieces together as directed in the instructions. As it turned out, this made it very easy for me to disassemble it and correct my mistakes. On the final (2nd) try, I also didn't glue them together - I want to be able to disassemble it in the future if I need to ship it, store it, or move it. I wouldn't be able to do that if the pieces were glued together. I'm currently using the rack with 5 cases on it and it's holding up fine, so I don't think the glue is necessary unless you plan on traveling with it or moving it around a lot, folding and unfolding frequently, etc.
Violin cases that are full size fit perfectly; any other size is too small. Even if half moon or oblong cases aren't wide enough to fit on the rack without touching the floor, they can easily stay upright without falling over.

This item is made of SOLID WOOD and took me 15 minutes to assemble. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE ANYTHING ELSE! This item is made in the United States, comes in PERFECT packaging, and is extremely sturdy once assembled. I would strongly advise anyone to use this product. To keep it all together, they even include a tiny tube of Gorilla Glue. *Follow the instructions for applying the glue - There's not a lot you'll need. The fact that this product is made in the United States appeals to me the most. I do a lot of online shopping and am frequently conflicted by the fact that so many items are manufactured in other countries. You get what you pay for, as the saying goes: this American-made product made, strong- The wood rack is sturdy, attractive, and constructed of straight, solid, and perfectly-shaped wood. Cut pieces of wood are included, as well as everything you'll need. The only tool you'll need is a Phillips head screwdriver. AN AMAZING PRODUCT! I should've purchased one years ago.
A tube of glue is included with this kit. DON'T EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER Gorilla glue is a substance that should be prohibited. Instead of using superglue, use regular wood glue or none at all. The thin line of glue you're supposed to use between the screw holes will expand and harden into an unsightly yellow foamy residue. You can clean it while it's still wet, but it'll expand even more, turning a nice product into a dreadful mess.
The oak finish on this guitar case stand is fantastic. as if it were a piece of handcrafted furniture It's also available in black walnut, which looks nice but, in my opinion, isn't worth the extra $30. It's ideal for those of us who believe that stringed instruments should always be protected by a hardshell case. Before I discovered this rack, I had been stacking mine horizontally on top of each other for far too long. Sure, some argue that a guitar that is kept in its case isn't being used enough. That may be true in some cases, but if you don't have enough floor space to keep them all on individual stands or enough wall space to hang them, this will suffice.
The String Swing CC29 is the most affordable member of its ecological niche. The pictures suggested it might be less than ideally stable, but I decided to give it a shot because I needed three and three of any of the competition would have been prohibitively expensive; also, the CC29 is made of Ash, and what Telecaster geek doesn't love Ash? After building and using them, I've come to the conclusion that something more robust would be better suited to a high-traffic area like a guitar store or music school, but they'll suffice for my needs in my private guitar room. This may or may not be necessary, but I deployed those guitars in hard cases at the ends of each rack to add a bit'o'lateral stability, with gig-ready guitars. betweenst. br>br>For a couple of reasons, I recommend gluing the racks together first. The CC29 is a relatively straightforward device with clear instructions. Despite this, I made a couple of mistakes the first time around, which would have been a problem if I hadn't glued my mistakes in place. I put mine together without glue first, making sure everything was straight, then backed off the screws enough to create a gap between the pieces, applied adhesive, tightened back up, and let it dry. br>br>The Gorilla Glue supplied expands a little as it dries, and if enough of it is applied, it can ooze out a little while drying, resulting in unsightly joins. It's also challenging to apply glue precisely straight from the tube. I squirted some glue onto a piece of aluminum foil, used a toothpick to apply it sparingly to the rack, and then tightened the screws again. This resulted in a strong, secure connection with no unsightly ooze. br>br>If my GAS flares up again and I need to buy more guitars, I won't hesitate to buy another CC29. Do I require a certain number of guitars? Of course, there's still one more.
Years of cramming guitar cases into closets and under the bed, with the guitars propped up on a series of mediocre stands that take up far too much space. I keep them in their cases but leave them out for easy access, with one or two stands for the ones I play on a daily basis. When it's time for lessons or jamming, all of the instruments are ready to go. It may or may not work for everyone, but it worked for me! br>br>The stand is made of solid ash, and the six pieces have rounded edges and smooth surfaces. I particularly liked the oil/wax finish, which, unlike varnish, stain, or shellac, allows the wood to breathe, allowing it to last longer and avoid splitting or cracking due to dryness. The assembly instructions were spot-on. on - However, when assembling the pieces, pay close attention to the orientation of the pieces in relation to one another. For example, pay close attention to how the beveled side pieces and the front piece at the bottom are attached. The side pieces are rotated incorrectly if the wing nuts do not catch in the bolt threads with the washers beneath them. The LARGER bolt countersink holes are on the OUTSIDE of the stand, not the INSIDE - I found out the hard way because I didn't pay attention to the instructions. However, I did not use the Gorilla glue exactly as directed: I'd rather keep the ability to disassemble the rack for ease of packing and moving, which we'll be doing in the coming months.
