Get the cheaper ones and then just stain the wood
Or just build your own.
“Sharpen my Stand” 😁
Lol, I'd love to see you tell this to someone buying a guitar with fancy wood
@@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?
*faints after Phil shakes the stand
Same
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.
Where can I find an $11 mic stand..

Call Jeff Bezos.
It’s actually really cheap specially since it’s made by hand and made right here in the United States.
Oh that was freaking me out - I was yelling "Stop Phil! Just stop!". Beautiful guitar (and nice stand - impressive)!
Wouldn’t forgive myself if only if
Please post the blooper reel outtakes.
My 2 cats would knock it over at 3:00 a.m. & I'd stay in bed crying.
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
Thank you!
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!
At 2:00, that left hand looks ready to grab that PRS.
$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?
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. :)
@@BradColemanisHere That makes sense Brad, I can agree on that.
Is your friend John Entwistle?
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.
I have had them for a year now and I put my vintage guitars on them so I trust them - great looking and functioning
Thank you!
Very beautiful works of art as well as being great gear! Thanks, Phillip. Looking forward to the next video!
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.
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
takes measurements, goes to home cheapo, builds 8 for $40 in lumber and stain.
And time. Your time is worth more than you admit.
G Henrickson couple hundred bucks an hour worth, it seems 😂
I'm building 3 of them tomorrow out of peruvian walnut, I work in my shop all the time & can't see this taking me more than a full hour but even if it takes 2 hours I'm saving the time id have to work to make the $300 to buy the 3 of these. So yeah, saving time and money
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! 😄😉
I probably wouldn’t have spent the dough but my wife bought me one of these for Christmas awhile back and I love it.
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!
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.
Oooh, the guitar works as a pendulum and helps keep the balance of the stand! That's super clever!
I was wondering about theses stands for awhile. Thank for sharing 👍👍👍
Clicked on this video while looking for the wall guitar hangers Phil uses, happy that string swing made it’s way in here
You are crazy! Stop doing that :D you are making me nervous :D
Nice stand btw
Yeah, it's giving me anxiety.
1:51 made me shrink back into my chair 😂😂 that PRS would've been shitting itself if it were a living thing
Awesome phil! Didn't know they had those. Thanks for the demo!
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!
Im glad that the beercaster went to a home it will be loved and cared for just like where it came from :)
I saw you tip the stand and I had never been so scared in my life
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.
I WAS wondering about THOSE, Phil. Thanks for the review.
Very cool Phil. I love it. Have a sound weekend man.
Awesome stands! Thanks for sharing brother. I need to buy a couple myself. 👏🎸😎
Thank you!
Holy Cow! I like the look of that singlecut PRS McCarty 594 hanging to my Left/your Right.
I dont think ive ever been more anxious watching a video
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.
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..
Thank you! very nice find!!
They are very nice indeed. Just glad it didn't fall over when you pushed on it.
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 😳
Thank you for buying my stand.
My girlfriend has given me 3 of these for birthday, Christmas and birthday. They look great with my Les Paul, Strat and Bryan Moore
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!
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.
I see that PRS SE Paul's guitar in the back and I am E X C I T E D :eyes:
ooooooooo
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.
I've had one these stands for years and no one has ever bumped into it.
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.)
I will definitely be building a few of these, i happen to have some peruvian walnut laying around which will be perfect, also have some canary wood i may try too
Digging seeing you have a Guild guitar there. They don’t seem to get a lot of mainstream attention and I can’t see why not.
We use two of these for our channel too! I love them
Nice stands!
I have one and I freaking love it!
Thank you!
They look nice. I think I'll make one for $15.
No you wont. Be honest and toss in $15/hr for your time.
Nice looking stand
Love mine. Definitely going to get a second
Excellent video, now ya have me wondering about my old stand. Question: How's that nice wooden stand on carpet?
Excellent. Thank you!
You never go wrong with Oak. :)
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.
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.
Buy the cheap one and then stain it to match the expensive ones lol 😂
Wow watching you try and knock over the prs gave me anxiety. Good review Phil.
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.
Timothy Tobin , great info , thanks I'll probably buy the A frame , but , great gift for the guitarist that has everything
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.
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
thanks phil
It's a weeble wobble. It weebles and it wobbles but it doesn't fall down.
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?
I don't think I've ever seen you from the waist down 😂 You weren't kidding when you said you liked Vans... You still have that 90's skater punkrocker look going on
Yes you did try and knock it over!!!!!!😂😂
*sees phill pushing the stand around with that PRS* “Wait, that’s illegal”
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.
Hey Phil just wondering why you like the string swing hangers over say a locking hanger like Hercules hangers? Just wondering love the channel 🤘
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?
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.
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!
Got anxiety watching you push the stand around. Good video
I like the tree swing...
Great review & product!I was surprised you got it from CHICAGO MUSIC EX. After the Moldy Marshall Amp experience...
Damn that’s impressive
Not to be contrary but did you test it on (not area rug) carpet with padding? Looks like a nice product.
DO A REVIEW ON THAT SE PAUL'S GUITAR I'VE BEEN EYEBALLING IT FOR A WHILE NOW!!
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...
ive dropped my $2200 fender face first so many times , i think it actually sounds better now .
YOU GOT A BIGGER SET THAN ME! I couldn't have done that.
That's pretty impressive. :)
Damn Phil I would never swing my PRS like that even I only have a SE model.
Awesome Phil! I liove those and one day I'll have a house to put one into...but the homes are still kind of pricey out here In Northern California! In the meantime...I came up with a studio room acoustical treating guitar hanging solution I think you'd like...would love to work String Swing to incorporate them into my design...just posted pictures of the first finished prototype on my Instagram...if your have a chance... take a look at it... tell me what you think?! I'd love to make you a custom one! It would be my way (outside of all the T-shirts and yoyos I've purchased) to show my appreciation for what you do! I know your busy so no worries if I don't hear from you anytime soon...might make a how-to-video so people can make there own. Love this community! Rock On!
Hi Phil, have you ever compared the stability of this stand against PRS Floating Guitar Stand? Thanks in advance.
that is so cool
Too expensive. But when I win the lottery and buy a 59 burst I'll definitely get one
Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down. Nice!
wow. you just sold me, thx!!!
I see that Paul's SE in the background =o
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?
Very!
The title had me convinced this was going to be a late April Fool's joke.
When are we going to see the amp build finished?
I can buy a mim strat and smash it on the floor. I can buy another one and throw it at a moving train, Then I can buy another one and tune it. I can play that one for 30 years, putting it on a cheap stand whenever I am not playing it. I’d save roughly $2000 for backup guitars if needed.
You a Crazy Man! Sold me...
Are these tall enough for a Flying V? I have a esp arrow but stands for it seem impossible to find
But do the different wood options affect the tone of the stand?
Hey, Phil you better give my green PRS guitar back to me or I’ll report you to the police!!!...lol super hot guitar!!!
