Get the cheaper ones and then just stain the wood

[@arthurbrown7501]

Or just build your own.

[@peteredie9108]

Lol, I'd love to see you tell this to someone buying a guitar with fancy wood

[@royalcat10]

@@peteredie9108 To be fair, there's at least a belief that a guitar with different woods will make a sonic difference. I don't see any reason for a guitar stand to be made of a fancy wood, other than vanity, though.

@KC That is a very angry comment, who hurt your guitar?

[@nadiavoun7137]

My 2 cats would knock it over at 3:00 a.m. & I'd stay in bed crying.

Oh that was freaking me out - I was yelling "Stop Phil! Just stop!". Beautiful guitar (and nice stand - impressive)!

[@watosmate8935]

Wouldn’t forgive myself if only if

[@ryanwilson5936]

Man, the price is steep for what it is but you can’t deny that performance! I’d imagine this is how people feel about putting a $3,000 mic on an $11 stand.

[@jonjeffries3265]

Where can I find an $11 mic stand..

It’s actually really cheap specially since it’s made by hand and made right here in the United States.

[@jim.missywyant.kennedy2334]

Great video Phil, I'm glad you choose to check these out. Nice to know someone with as much experience as you have with stands and all kinds of display items find them practical and actual useful other than for decoration. Peace!

[@paulishiyama7421]

That's.... actually really frickin cool. The guitar acts as its own counterweight, in a way, which dampens the amount the guitar and the stand swing. That or the center of mass of the system is so low that it would take one hell of a knock to get it to tip over. Very neat

[@ZitherWizard]

Thank you!

[@ibji]

Please post the blooper reel outtakes.

[@peterdebad1]

Very beautiful works of art as well as being great gear! Thanks, Phillip. Looking forward to the next video!

[@allgrainbrewer10]

At 2:00, that left hand looks ready to grab that PRS.

[@adam3839]

I just got one for my living room guitar. It was a present from the wife. She picked out the mahogany one. Love it. My MIM Standard looks like a museum piece! 😄😉

[@hkguitar1984]

Great review. I've seen these stands for sale but always passed because they looked unsafe. I would have never imagined they were so stable. Thank You for this short review.

[@petebrown3715]

Glad you shared that stand. I was at CME in Chicago and I tested one out myself inadvertently. I was picking up my Ibanez jem Jr that they so nicely set up for me. So I used the Jem on the stand. It was super cool. I will be buying one for myself as well. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Chicago Music Exchange. Super nice people and awesome vibe at the shop. Thanks again Phil! Pete from Chicago

[@Superjet113]

$150-$200? I'll just hangem' on the wall, vintage or newer.. I have a friend that has a half a million dollar guitar collection and every guitar is on the wall all the way around his house. His Father was a pretty famous guitarist in the 50's and 60's and he acquired his Fathers collection , plus has added his own collection as well over the years. It's all Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Rickenbacker, and PRS. He is a blind man and he cant see the beautiful guitars, but can play them and touch them. It's his world. He also likes having his Wife drive him around really fast in their Corvette and Saleen Mustang... So blessed, but so cursed?

[@BradColemanisHere]

Cool story, and good idea. You can see in the video Phil has a spot in his house where these are perfect and a hanger wouldn't work. I'm betting that's true for a lot of people who have odd spaces, windows, or wives who want to put it away when they entertain guests. :)

[@Superjet113]

@@BradColemanisHere That makes sense Brad, I can agree on that.

[@scottlapier4363]

Is your friend John Entwistle?

[@DIRT2021]

Great idea. BUT...if you want something that looks nice, and you don't sit within arms reach of suitable wall space, you might appreciate having your nice acoustic sit on this next to your studio desk, with a Tele on the other side...so you can just reach over and grab them. Safe....looks great. And a fraction of the value of the guitars that sit on them.

[@realjester]

I was wondering about theses stands for awhile. Thank for sharing 👍👍👍

[@michael-TN]

Just got mine today… Love it! Looks great and amazingly sturdy. First guitar I loaded up was an Explorer and it fit perfectly. Now I’m gonna have to get one for my basses and banjos! Thanks for the suggestion Phil!

[@zaz4667]

Awesome phil! Didn't know they had those. Thanks for the demo!

[@adama4791]

Clicked on this video while looking for the wall guitar hangers Phil uses, happy that string swing made it’s way in here

[@triplesevensix291]

Very cool Phil. I love it. Have a sound weekend man.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Chicago Music Exchange is one of the coolest places I have been to. It is a destination if you are ever in Chicago and worth spending the day in. I did them, the Science & Industry museum and a Cubs game in one weekend. At night it was barhopping Rush street for some Chicago Blues and awesome street food and *THAT* is a killer weekend.

[@wildersparks9161]

I probably wouldn’t have spent the dough but my wife bought me one of these for Christmas awhile back and I love it.

[@Eventual420]

I could go on a full on Cat rant, about how they shred the furniture, bring live creatures into the house, about how loud squirrels can scream when they're feeling unsafe, about how lizards tails break off, about snakes... but let me talk instead about how two cats chase each other around. It's like a Cat party sometimes. The walls and furniture are the race course, and my month old Rickenbacker 12 string, the unfortunate victim. You may as well consider sandbags as well. They're also decorative. Anything to protect the instruments we appreciate. Thanks Phil! Nicely done!

[@johnnybravoski7048]

I WAS wondering about THOSE, Phil. Thanks for the review.

[@1337million]

Oooh, the guitar works as a pendulum and helps keep the balance of the stand! That's super clever!

Im glad that the beercaster went to a home it will be loved and cared for just like where it came from :)

[@dalepal]

At first I thought this was one of those “don’t do this at home” videos. I like the design and appearance of the Zither stands and it appears they are very stable.

[@JIMJAMSC]

Great product and advice. One tip.. Never leave a instrument plugged in on a stand. Seen more than I care get smacked down when someone snags one with their foot or dragging something across it. Freebie tip. Also never put a instrument in a case "for a break" and close it without latching it. Maybe time will pass and you will go to pickup the case and dump it on the floor. I know this.

[@tipper9120]

thanks phil

[@fatjeff8083]

Hey Phil, is that a PRS Paul's Guitar SE on the wall behind you? I have one in teal on order and it totally grabbed my attention.

[@jonjeffries3265]

I bought a cheap Aria small body acoustic for 100 bucks and it came with one of these stands.. I gave the guitar to a beginner player and she loves it, And I got a really nice stand out of the deal..

[@McOuroborosBurger]

Our Church uses them because the owners family goes there. When our church got them the owner decided it would be a good idea to apply the finish over in the children’s check in area. Good stands though.

[@DamnedEyez]

I have a metal one from String Swing and it's great. Particularly good for either a guitar you want to show off, or for those odd shaped ones. (My Destroyer II fits wonderfully...alas, it's not tall enough for my Warlock bass.)

[@paristhalheimer]

I face planted my PRS McCarty from a regular stand exactly 2 hrs after getting out of the shop. The guitar is fine and didn't even get a scratch.

[@jamesdavies1179]

Hey Phil just wondering why you like the string swing hangers over say a locking hanger like Hercules hangers? Just wondering love the channel 🤘

[@landofahhs_1]

Excellent video, now ya have me wondering about my old stand. Question: How's that nice wooden stand on carpet?

[@ZitherWizard]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@RickRomanelli]

How about a combination guitar stand-cat tree. You could have carpeting and rope wrapped around the base with little cat shelves and toys. This would be awesome!

[@DanishingAct]

Front to back and side to side seem safe, but if you clipped it at the base walking by and it spun that might be a real problem.

[@danparry834]

Crazy video Phil! I nearly did a small turd when you started knocking the green PRS around! Also, does anyone know what that blue guitar is behind Phil’s head?

[@robwingler2453]

Wow watching you try and knock over the prs gave me anxiety. Good review Phil.

[@brandonjames6855]

Quik-Lok stopped making my favorite stand. Been looking for a new model ever since. My vintage set-neck guitars are just too heavy to hang by their necks so still looking...

[@craigbrowning9448]

I use the Hercules Auto Grip stands. I normally play Organ and am learning to play the guitar while keeping the bass on the Pedal Clavier. All the stands that cradle the Guitar from the bottom have been failures but one that grips the Headstock is much more reliable. I've had cheaper stands pick up with the Guitar or Flop Over.

[@josed5584]

*sees phill pushing the stand around with that PRS* “Wait, that’s illegal”

[@erinescence2095]

Really attractive stand! Like everyone else, I found it hard to watch you knocking it around in case something unexpected happened! If someone bumps the guitar, which seems more likely if you have the stand near a wall, does the guitar just swing?

[@kurt3929]

Is that the new Pauls Guitar SE hanging in the background?

[@DavidMorisset]

I brought a floor model from a Sam Ash about 2 years ago. Great for the living room where my wife doesn’t want a guitar swinging from the wall. I had no idea it was that stable 😳

[@ZitherWizard]

Thank you for buying my stand.

[@markhoskins]

That's pretty impressive. :)

[@gregkocis]

I've had one these stands for years and no one has ever bumped into it.

[@phreak1118]

I like the tree swing...

[@manuelgomezdemembrillerape300]

Yes you did try and knock it over!!!!!!😂😂

[@54fighting5]

Not to be contrary but did you test it on (not area rug) carpet with padding? Looks like a nice product.

[@andrewd6789]

Hi Phil, have you ever compared the stability of this stand against PRS Floating Guitar Stand? Thanks in advance.

[@JaniceLalla]

that is so cool

[@scottroberts3801]

Those stands are nice looking.i actually made something similar years ago just playing around. The price is way to much though for something so simple that basically is a giant banana bunch hanger. They do work well though due to the swiveling hanger.

[@jeffmariajenson9751]

Cool. How's that amp build comin'?

[@zeeb0w]

wow. you just sold me, thx!!!

[@timhester3035]

It's a weeble wobble. It weebles and it wobbles but it doesn't fall down.

[@LetsJamMan]

But do the different wood options affect the tone of the stand?

[@omarm7969]

Are these tall enough for a Flying V? I have a esp arrow but stands for it seem impossible to find

[@bayouboattrash]

YOU GOT A BIGGER SET THAN ME! I couldn't have done that.

[@BradColemanisHere]

Very cool! Hey, where I live everyone has carpet. I'm sure they don't do as good of a job on carpet but are they still somewhat stable?

[@ZitherWizard]

Very!

[@5thrbrj]

Have you tried it with a tele?

[@VictorRiquelmeRock]

Damn Phil I would never swing my PRS like that even I only have a SE model.

[@drumsNstuff79]

Now that I've survived a major HEART ATTACK watching the PRS swing around, i'm impressed! I can see this stand complimenting a very nice guitar very well. It's always funny to me when someone takes the nicest boutique guitar with exotic woods and inlays and puts it on a $20 stand.

[@timothytobin1481]

I started using A-frame style guitar stands because they are also hard to knock over due to their low center of gravity and they don't cost an arm and a leg. They average about $20 USD although if you look around you can get them for as low as $7 to $10! I also think that they show the guitar off to better advantage.

[@bradleestone5344]

Timothy Tobin , great info , thanks I'll probably buy the A frame , but , great gift for the guitarist that has everything

[@TheFULLMETALCHEF]

Wondering how many DIYers are going to try to copy that design ( show of hands, please).

[@pearlandGUITARIST]

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down. Nice!

[@deucemcgoose]

I see that Paul's SE in the background =o

[@danielsgrunge]

This got me thinking, if you build a guitar stand with an ultra low center of gravity (and a considerable amount of mass) you wouldnt be able to knock it down even if you wanted to

[@adam3839]

[@danielnevels2207]

Do they make those stands out of tone wood?

[@williamcastleberry7338]

Be very cautious when using on carpeted floor, and also when using it for a Tele

[@BobCrosley]

I was just saying to myself, I can’t believe Phil is buying something that’s not a String Swing! I should have known better! Cool stand!
