So far so good
Steve J. D. 10.01.2021
Let's start by saying that I've bought this mostly because it caught my eye (and the overwhelmingly positive reviews).

Once I opened the box, the first thing I noticed is how good the materials felt in the hand. I'm not an expert, but this thing feels different from other cheaper stands I had seen in stores.
It is fairly easy to assemble, although I haven't found any instruction booklet in the box. You don't really need it, but if you're as dumb as I am, you may risk messing up something.
Moreover, it's incredibly convenient to use. My bass is fairly heavy, and it stays firlmly locked on until I want to pick it up.

Now about the cons.
When it's not holding anything, the upper part of the arm wobbles a bit, which is something you wouldn't expect from a product of this price range. It gets very stable when you put your instrument on, but I think it's still something that needs to be mentioned.
Also, the locking mechanism is very smooth, but it's made of fairly light plastic. I'm not saying it's cheap, but it's something you should consider. I found out that the left foam pad on the holder was also deformed by my bass' (a Squier) weight and its asymmetrical headstock. I don't know if that's supposed to happen, but it did, although it doesn't seem to impact on the stand's functionality.

Overall, it's a nice product that feels very well made. So far so good. I will update this review if the stand drops my bass in the future, but I highly doubt it anything like that will happen.

Hercules in the true sense of the name

The stand is very easy to assemble and immediately catches the eye with the quality of workmanship and robustness. The guitar hangs stably and securely. I use it both on stage and in the room.

There are several types on the same stands, but pay attention to whether it is for guitars with Nitro lacquer or not.

I will definitely buy a few more pieces for other guitars.

Solid
Guthrak 27.02.2024
I have come to trust this stand quickly over the weeks.
I use it for personal use and move it about once a week, get it out of the bag (sold separately) fold it open, slide in the top part, set my guitar neck in there and just let go with full confidence. (Yes I do care a lot about my guitar)
The top part can tilt about 15 degrees to the left and is a bit squeaky from moving it about a bunch, but this takes away nothing from the rock solid thing this is.
The bottom part folds open rather difficultly, but I rather have this than the other way around. I can also lube it to fix that.
It's more expensive than the 15 eur alternatives which are thinner and wobbly, but I fear for my guitar's life in those things, while this has my full trust to keep my precious guitar safe. Never going back

Perfect for 1 acoustic guitar and 2 ukuleles
Tomas Bilek 14.02.2022
I placed 1 acoustic guitar and 2 ukuleses (one on each side - using 2 Millenium UH-1 Ukulele Holder)

The Auto-Grab holder has been working perfectly for last 2 years and is super secure and easy to use.

Totally recommend this holder.

Simply excellent.
Matto J. 05.02.2024
I got the idea to buy this stand from my guitar teacher. And i do not regret it one bit.
The build quality is truly exceptional, it's sturdy, it has padding where the guitar rests on the stand, and i love the mechanism that holds the guitar. You just simply rest the neck, and as soon as you let go the mechanism drops a bit and automatically puts up a little barrier that holds the neck securely.
You can retract the bottom feet to make it smaller so it's easier to transport altho one negative is that it is still kinda bulky.
9/10 Would highly recommend

The best guitar stand I have ever used! I never had a problem with it. It supports all types of guitars, from classical to acoustic, to electric and 5 string e-bass. Very stable and well made!

Great product but somewhat fragile.
Jack84 22.01.2022
Very good product, but one of the arms in the head broke after a few months of light use. I would have given it a 5-star rating if the product was more sturdy.

I've used this style of Hercules for nearly 20 years. They're an iconic design and rock solid. I've never had an issue with the build quality. Probably not as space efficient as a wall mounted solution but also a lot easier to setup & fits well into a corner of a home office.

Much better than previous stands I have used
JAON 11.12.2019
These stands are really great for stability. Easy and quick to set the instrument on the stand and they balance really well. I will use these on all of my instruments in the future. Highly recommended.
