Inexpensive stand for nitro finish acoustic guitar

[specialk]

So I bought a new acoustic this week. Got a great deal on it so I don't want to spend a bunch on a stand. It has a nitro-based finish.

Anyone know of a cheap stand that's safe for this?

The stand might well outlast most of the guitars in your collection, so it may be worth thinking of it as a budding partnership... You buy guitars so it won't float away.

That aside, plain cotton rags provide a nice buffer between whatever stand you already have and the guitar. Something like an old cotton or wool ski hat would probably make a fair "sock" to put over the part that holds the neck.

Not pretty, but cheap.

I use the Ultimate Support GS-100. They're around $30 and use nitro-friendly materials wherever they contact the guitar.

I like this idea!

I got plenty of rags/socks/hats for buffers, and I'm way past the point of needing to impress anyone.

Got a shock. I priced a Hercules stand. They were never cheap, but they sure have gotten spendy since I last bought one.

Thanks, s&s.

If you PM me a shipping address, I have a Hercules begging for a new home. I would feel grateful for the opportunity to be rid of it.

PM sent. Grateful thanks to Feynman!

You're welcome!

Even better!

As someone else who's interested in their stands, I gotta ask ... Why are you're grateful to be rid of it?

Because he feels obligated to put a guitar in it.

Exactly. It sits here, mocks me, begs to be used...it's a damn nice stand. I buy the GS455B, as they will hold skinny little necks all the way up to my ridiculous classical neck. A fantastic design - highly recommended.

I went through a "two guitar" phase for awhile, but I realized recently that one guitar is my happy spot. So, I have an extra stand. Well, i did, but now it will host SpecialK's new love.
