SDOD - Gravity Stands Guitar GLOW STAND - $99.99

OK, this looks kinda cool. Not $200 cool, or even $100 cool, but it's a neat idea.

...and maybe my drummer wouldn't trip over my f***in' guitar stands on an unlit stage.

I like the design ideas of a floor base plate and single neckrest arm. Some plywood, some medium-density foam, a hinge, a hook latch, foam glue, tools and a hour of time, and you've got yourself a sturdy fold- up stand that's a reduced trip hazard.

In fact, forget the hinge and hook latch. Make the baseplate double-thick, and have a tongue at the bottom of the  neckrest arm fit into an angled slot in the base.

Looks like it could be kind of cheap and gimmicky.

So I only got one. 🤪

Puts the, “stupid”, in SDOD. I wouldn’t let those hideous things anywhere near my guitars.

I envision something exactly like this!

So, this arrived. It is much more substantial than I expected. Metal, not plastic. No assembly required. I can see how it might look kind of cool on a stage. HOWEVER, the version I have is not the hanging stand but the A-Frame, and the guitar just leans back against some kind of rubber pad, as you can see. This is fine for me, but it seems like on a stage it would be at risk of getting bumped over. If I get a chance I will post an action pic or two.
