LiamPodmore Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm looking at a few multi guitar stands (The case type ones) and came across these 2 from Stagg. Anyone know of the quality/durability/etc.... of these, 'cause i could use a stand like this for my bedroom and on stage and obviously don't want a piece of crap that'll fall apart on me when i move it. The 2 stands in question: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/stagg-gdc-6-guitar-stand-case/6594"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/stagg-gdc-6-guitar-stand-case/6594[/url] [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/stagg-gdc-8-guitar-stand-case/6583"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/stagg-gdc-8-guitar-stand-case/6583[/url] Both the same really, just one holds 2 more electrics, or 3 more acoustics than the other.

fonzoooroo Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 A mate of mine uses a couple of these in his shop. (Space efficient solution for 2nd hand electrics) They've been in daily service for over 5 years now. BUT they never get moved, (except for occasional cleaning behind!) and are backed up against a wall. They don't inspire a lot of confidence in the "grab a corner and give it a shake" test. (especially if they were to be used away from a wall) My money'd go on a steel frame type of stand. You may be perfectly happy with one, but I'd recommend seeing/feeling one in the "flesh" before forking out on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I've got a six guitar one of these that I've had since about 2003, it's been to countless gigs, in and out of the van more times than I care to remember, and is currently doing service in the corner of my practice room. It's still in great shape, the only thing starting to look a bit rough is one or two of the padded dividers that sit in the bottom between the guitars. For the £45 it cost me, I've had great use out of it and it's showing no sign of falling to bits yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Thanks for that Mike, thats the kind of thing i was hoping to hear, and Fonzoooroo i'll take that into consideration, thanks. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftyhook Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Guitarist in my current (!) band swears by his, and his houses 3 Les Paul's total value around 6 grand. Looks after them like babies, so believe me, if they didn't do the job he wouldn't use one. saw them on ebay recently for 45 quid ( 6 guitar version). Guitar Guitar selling them for over 70. doh!

LiamPodmore Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Les Pauls aint exactly light so thats quite a good thing to hear, and i actually didn't think of ebay at all somehow. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have a Fender tweed version, which to be honest, apart from the badge, is probably built exactly the same. Its built very well, and i move it around, it shows no sign of wear at all, latches are strong etc, for the price of the ones on your link, i reckon theyre an absolute steal, and well worth a punt! Here's my 3 guitar version, i also have a 7 guitar version, which is identical (Except bigger ), both are built very sturdily.

leftyhook Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Last night I watched the guitarist in my band collapse his Stagg case in about 10 seconds flat! He has had it for at least 2 years that I know of so he has done it many times, Many many times, yet it remains intact and stable. Believe me, this guy won't let anyone even touch his Gibson's, let alone play ( oh yes, he has issues!). Nice to have a Fender badge (all due respect) but it's a stand, not a sexy guitar enhancing your stage presence. I would get one, but there's never enough room on my side of the stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayste_2000 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've had one of those Stagg cases/stands for like 6-7 years, some of the inserts are a little worse for wear but, the case and stand is still fully functional and we gig 1-2 a year with it for the past 5-6 years I'd defo buy another if it fully broke.

Lozz196 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I`ve used the Warwick stands, as below, both the 3 and 7 version. Very good, and folds down in an instant. I recommend getting a 7, and the whole band putting all their gtrs in it. Saves a lot of on-stage room, rather than 5 or 6 individual stands. http://www.gak.co.uk/en/warwick-rockbag-7-multiple-guitar-rack-stand-f-p-rs20882/7364 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Savage Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 While we're on this subject, could someone who's got one of these be incredibly kind and measure the depth of it for me when folded please? Would have a need for one and if it'll fit in the 10cm or so that's available down the back of my cab in its flightcase that'd be the icing on the cake...

leftyhook Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 10 cm, might be a tight fit.... If you haven't got a measurements by Monday pm .

JimBobTTD Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Mine - a Stagg 6 guitar stand - is 12.5cm wide when folded. I have two of them which I use in my music room. They are a bit flimsy, but I wouldn't be without mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just lift out one of the foam dividers from the bottom of the stand and a wider bodied instrument will sit right in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd_david Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I have one which me and the guitarist share in the rehearsal room and he takes one out live, both are about 4 years old and have stood up to general abuse but careful use. I think they are brilliant for the money the only complaint i have is the soft dividers in the base need fixing in some way. I know they are loose to accommodate different guitars over time but they tend to move too easily, so much so the guitarist through his out but it works just as well. I like the look of the 3 instrument fender one which has much bigger dividers. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
