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.

Great product but somewhat fragile.

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.

Great, easy to use and secure
Machineboy 27.01.2023
I have three of these, they are my preferred guitar stand because it automatically locks the guitar when it's placed. It also fits basically any shape of guitar or bass body since it rests against the padded tripod instead of balancing on some sort of cradle. Still it feels a little flimsy when handling the stand, but it's solid once a guitar has been placed. I also hope the foam handles keep their shape, the foam on one of my stands is getting a little compressed where the guitar has been hanging for a year or so.

Good stand for explorer forms
Pep Garberí 22.01.2021
It works with many guitars but I purchased for my Apocalypse Schecter and wirks perfectly. It comes with accessory to improve the grip on the head, you can mount it in 2 minutes, it is robust enough and well padded in the contact with the guitar, height can be adjusted gradually very well and I' ll buy another one for my next explorer. Good job!

Bought this for my offset guitar. Having never used this type of stand before i was skeptical concerning stability and the quick lock mechanism. I was absolutely wrong. This is a sturdy stand and the locking mechanism is very practical and secures the guitar well.
I´m buying more of these stands for my other guitars.
