This is no ordinary guitar stand, this is like the absolute best guitar stand you can buy. The construction and quality of it is the best you will find. Very sturdy but also easy to collapse and store. The base and neck rests have excellent padding so whether you've got an original 59' or a squire you found in the garbage, rest assured this stand is safe and sturdy. I've owned some inexpensive stands that were flimsy and felt like they could topple with a heavy guitar in it but, this is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum. If anyone ever asks me to recommend a guitar stand, and the price is a secondary concern, this is the one, 100%.
