On-Stage XCG4 Black Tripod Guitar Stand, Single

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Price and vast previous experience with brandBuild quality:solid and gets the job done. Been using "On Stage" products for decades. Probably have purchased 50 or more various type of stands, P.A. speaker, guitar/bass, keyboard etc over the years. Never had one fail.

I've owned several stands throughout the decades, this is by far the best one I've seen to date. The foam is actually foam instead of the silicone which tends to dry rot. It folds to a normal size as you'd expect. Portability is debatably good. As far as it's intended function it's sturdy and well built.

The On-Stage XCG4 Black Tripod Guitar Stand is a great choice for keeping my Squire Strat resting upright and secure when I'm not playing it. Nothing worse than leaning a beautiful guitar against something and having it fall over and be damaged. The On-Stage XCG4 Tripod Stand is very reasonably priced and sturdy enough to last for years. 5 stars!

I like this for what I use it for, which is a full size acoustic guitar. There are a few issues with it. The metal it's self is solid and put together well. The height of the neck from the swivel base (not the floor) is adjustable from 21" up to about 26" (and still able to use the screw in the back to secure the adjustable neck). The pictures are exactly what you get, so I didn't see the point of taking another picture of the stand.The two issues I have with this stand is 1. It is in fact very unstable. While it's just sitting around, it's nice and as long as it is out of the way then it's fine. If you barely push it diagonally to the back left or back right, it will easily fall over. If it is sitting in a corner you wont have to worry about it. If it is on a stage, in a more high traffic area, or if there are other items around that could push in to it or if you're in a rush to put it down, dog/kids in house - it could easily fall over. I have mine in a corner like most people probably do, however that's a major concern for a stand. The rear peg is just too short. 2. The pads on the metal aren't very high quality. Although they are fine for light use around the house and will probably last a year or more, they will wear out and need to be replaced for sure. They are not very thick but do the job.I really debated on giving it three stars, but for how I'm using it (in home only) and the price, I believe it rated 4 stars. If you want to take it with you somewhere, I would consider a different option.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like the flat black powder coating along with the strap and is light weight.

Easy to assemble and carry

For the past several years I have had my guitar hero guitars all over the place in the living room. They have been leaning against the wall, shoved under the couch, hanging on top of the tv stand, etc. Finally I realized enough is enough and wanted to get a stand to store them prior to their ritual Friday night usage.For this task, I decided to try the On Stage XCG4 Tubular Guitar Stand. Also, yes, I do have a fender guitar in my bedroom that also requires a stand and, before moving onto my baby, I first wanted a subject to test the stand on.For starters, this stand is priced at a very reasonable rate which is very helpful in todays horrible economy. It did not take much energy to convince the wife to loan me the money to purchase this item.The stand was very simple to extend and put together. The legs fold and so, when putting together, make sure you snap them into place or else the stand itself will not be stable. The top tube inserts into the bottom tube and a nut in the back is what holds it into place. Also, this will allow you to adjust the height on the top of the cradle for proper placement. The cradle of the stand itself swivels. This helps in making sure that your guitar properly settles into the cradle safely and securely. There is also a rubber security band on the top tube that holds the neck of the guitar. This is a nice feature to make sure your guitar does not fall out in case the stand is forced to lean forward such as being bumped or, if you carry the stand with guitar in place, it will stay put during transportation.Overall, this is a wonderful purchase. It is a very affordable well built product. Recommended to hold your guitar, let it be the real deal or your collection of guitar hero guitars.

This is a verybsturdy stand. Very quick and easy to set up. Compact for traveling when taken down. Feel very good about using it to support my Strat.
