(Part 2) Best guitar stands according to redditors

I got a Westone guitar from my uncle that was actually pretty decent.

As for storage, I have a few wall mounts, but I have this guitar rack (https://www.amazon.com/Kuyal-Multi-Guitar-Display-Folding-Acoustic/dp/B076DG3J6Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?adgrpid=55209441519&hvadid=274873908224&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9015620&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=16112975370691999080&hvtargid=kwd-489836931272&keywords=guitar+rack&qid=1554576329&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1) thing that holds 5. I also have a few floor stands.

First thing anyone should buy is Deluxe Audio Strap. Can't stress that enough.

Vive-N-Chill is also really useful. It may seem silly, but it actually works really well. When I use any other headset for active gaming I really miss it.

Hyperskin covers for the controllers are awesome, comfortable, add grip and help with the occasional wall scrape. Though personally I ditched the headset one as I feel like it may trap in heat. Does look cool though. But the controller ones are a must have.

One of my absolute favorite VR accessories: 1" MMA floor tiles. Worth every penny. Way better than any thinner solutions and you can really kneel/roll around on the ground comfortably and stand for hours on it. Can be disassembled for transport and does not slide on carpet. They seem to be holding up to heavy duty long term use so well they should last for years through multiple generations of headsets.

My favorite face cushion for personal use is the stock foam one. Comfortable, breathes, and absorbs moisture and wicks it away. Nice to break out the fancy faux-leather ones for guests and stuff, but the original stock ones are the best for serious game sessions, at least in my opinion. Just hand wash it on occasion.

These guitar hangers are cheap and awesome for hanging controllers from when paired with some 10 foot usb micro cables for charging. Maybe not as cool looking as the special charging stand, but a whole bunch of pairs are great for different VR controllers if you have more than just a pair to deal with.

And, if/when you ever tire of the Base Stations' function to remotely power up/down automatically being fussy, slow or intermittent, then remote power outlets will make you happy. They make the base stations spring to life and sync in a few seconds compared to the slow blue tooth routine and power off when you want them off.

And 2 more at a 45 degree angle at bottom corners will hold a headset to the wall securely. This is my setup and its cheap and looks nice. No hanging from straps or anything . This guy did it just like i did. https://i.imgur.com/ozUmLQe.jpg

This is the one I have.

Here ya go.

My ex had 3-4 guitars when we lived together. We used the guitar wall hangers that you need to screw into the wall. The only thing I found so far online that would keep your boyfriend's guitars out of the way is this one, which can hold them while hanging inside a closet so if his place has good closet space this could be a good idea?

Not an actual product for hmd. These are just guitar hangers. https://www.amazon.com/Top-Stage-Essentials-Studio-GR5-Q2/dp/B00O4JRLU0

Hang them up higher... guitars preferably, but kids if you must. :) You can also get a hanger that locks the guitar in, and maybe mount a bad behind the guitar so it doesn't get scratched up side to side if the kids start playing the home version of "pinata" with the guitar. Perhaps something SIMILAR to ( I don't own this, nor am I affiliated) https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Bracket-Acoustic-Electric-Classical/dp/B07QGQV1J3 . I'd suggest getting something that has some sort of basic padding for each side of the neck rather than plastic directly against the neck and headstock.

Standard 8' ceilings should give you plenty of wall space. Otherwise, hang them in your bedroom. You could also find a horizontal hanger if needed.

We do a lot of redirection, like others have mentioned “no” just makes him feel like it’s a game. Such a fun game...

For the guitar my husband has one of these on the wall which has been pretty nifty, in case that might be helpful for y’all: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FM97YFY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_VpZyCb62BC9FS

You could always just put a heavy rubber band across the tongs. Do you need a security lock to keep people/kids from accessing the guitar or just a safety lock to keep them from falling off the wall?

I used to sit mine (7U x 104hp) on an acoustic guitar stand, which worked relatively well and they tend to be fairly reasonably priced. They also tend to be padded fairly well in all the right places to prevent scratches etc.

(Something like this, just chose one at random off of Amazon. It'd be worth checking measurements though to make sure the depth of your system fits in the stand. Or even better, try it out at your local guitar store.)

The only downside was that when I was patching/unpatching something in the top-left / top-right of my system it wasn't as stable as I would've liked. But it wasn't too bad. For the price, I feel like it's worth a try!

Hi there. This room is already in good condition. The closet is awesome with a perfect amount of room for your clothes and everything else that you want to store. You just need to clean it up, fine a home for your belongings in there and then always put them away. What you do need there are doors, or at least curtains. For that minimal feel, if doors, aren't an option (these are preferable), then I'd suggest white-ish neutral curtains. Something like this. Your room will instantly feel less hectic if you make that area not visible.

In your ideal description, you make no mention of needing a TV, so I'd get rid of that huge armoire and TV in there. The things you need from it can be put in the closet. Now you have more room for your activities. I like where your bed is and I'd keep that there. The corner that has your acoustic guitar seems like a good place for your music. I'd invest in a couple of these and hang your guitars on the wall there, with the amp on the floor below them. Now you have room for a desk along the wall where the TV was. I'd suggest getting something narrow and long, as the space is limited there. I like this one. It's got some drawers to put desk items in. Fr a desk chair, I'd get something like this one in solid gray. Lastly, I'd probably get a new rug. The one you have looks like it's had it. Probably something more modern like this as it's on hella sale. Keeping the colors light, neutral and clean will help to let your brain take a rest when you're in your room (and you pick up after yourself). These changes are minimal and would cost around $436.95 without tax and shipping.

Its a guitar wall hanger.

I was looking at some of these. There's one for $79 I think is actually pretty nice.

Thanks for the links! I might actually try that double strap. What a cool idea!

How about this option? http://www.amazon.com/MBrace-MBR-1-Mbrace-Guitar-Holder/dp/B005IHLSTM

Screws on top of a mic stand, attaches to your strap buttons to hold the weight.

Yeah if you have room for only one, then you're probably safer with a bass combo. The problem will be that you can't then get guitar niceties like pleasing overdrive.

Not sure what your layout is, but you might be able to free up some space in a couple of ways:

• Hang your guitars - I use the wall-mounted Hercules hangers, but if you can't drill into the walls there are options like this: https://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Hanger-1001-Original-Closet/dp/B002NPCISC
  
• If you're just practicing, then a small combo like the Fender Rumble 25 or Ampeg BA108 may be fine. There's even the Fly 3, but I have never played one.
  
• Depending on your budget for a bass combo, consider one that is large enough for you to place your guitar amp on top of; front-mounted controls would be a plus, although they are less common;
  
• Don't get an amp, but use a computer interface instead...you'll need some decent headphones, though.
  
  

Storage for a guitar that good looking, and you don't need to travel?

Done.

These were taken in poor light but you get the idea.

1. Yes.
   
   
2. 1x4 is fine. You're mounting the board to the studs, so you will have way more strength than necessary. (Hanger sizes are typically 4" tall, 1x4's are 3/4" x 3.5", so you will probably need to get a 1x6 and rip it down to size)
   
   
3. Lay the board, then your guitars, on the floor and mark your distances. Decide for yourself if equal spacing (despite the difference in body widths) or custom spacing works for you. Of course, don't forget a few inches between each body so you're not knocking them around when going on/off the wall. If you don't have carpet, then a folded towel under each body will protect it while you're spacing, and lets you slide it around.
   
   
4. Standard wall hanger at the music store. I bought this style from my local shop. You might want the locking style if kids are present.
   
   
5. Certain woods stain better than others. Certain woods take stain differently, and give better/worse colors.
   
   
6. I'd recommend a flat pad of some sort to mount where the body would hit the wall if bumped, or sloppily put on the wall. I have a square pad that goes on a very small table for mine. In the past, I've used a circular rubber bumper (kinda like a door handle stop bumper that mounts to the wall) with the soft velcro half glued to it.

Can you send me a link? What I have is great, but I'd save some space if I could get mine off of it's current stand (Ultimate Stand GS-200) and onto a wall.

Hi there - congrats on the guitar. First, take your guitar to a luthier (NOT Guitar Center) to have it be professionally set up. Setting it up includes adjusting the action (the height of the strings above the frets), adjusting the height of the pickups, ensuring the neck is perfectly straight, etc. This isn't something you want to do yourself, but a correctly set up guitar can mean the difference between a new player being able to learn or not. Simply put, a properly set up guitar plays worlds easier than one that isn't.

Also get yourself a few sets of strings (I like to get .010s for electric, especially when first learning), some picks (I like Dunlop Max-Grip 0.88s for learning electric), and a stand to keep your guitar on -- something like this, which I like because it rests the weight on the body of the guitar, and has the strap up top to ensure the guitar doesn't fall out of the stand if bumped.

You'll need a good strap -- something adjustable and comfortable to wear. Consider getting strap locks, too, as it's common for some other types of strap to simply fall off while playing.

You may also want to get some fretboard conditioner, a peg winder (these are like $3), and a polishing cloth. Both Fender and Gibson make perfectly great guitar maintenance kits with fretboard conditioner, polishing cloths, etc. Just don't buy that crap that supposedly extends the life of your strings. It's snake oil. Change the strings when you start to see visible corrosion on them (from your fingers). If you're practicing with your new guitar like you should be, you're likely to need to change them once a month or so. Don't be shy about this...strings aren't that expensive. :-)

I have a couple 3 guitar stands like this, I think they're "on stage" brand and cost a little more than this, but the on stage ones I found have slots on the bottom now too. One of my bandmates has a 5 guitar stand which folds down into a road case and they'd bring it for shows where we had numerous tuning changes, eventually the top bits broke and the stand is very unstable. If you aren't planning to move them around much going cheap it okay. If you plan to disassemble and reassemble frequently, better to pay more up front and only have to buy once, rather than replacing stands later.

I have done something similar and mounted forward facing hangers. I have 7 hangers and am considering redoing everything and going with angled hangers to I can fit more. With something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JDP3HMQ I would be able to hang 10-12 in the space where I can currently only hang 7.

I use this. It's perfect for my tenor and 2 concerts.

Might not be the most popular, but these are great. I've used these for a few months now and I had no problems. They're sturdy, cheap, and work great.

OP hasn't responded, but I'm thinking that they're using guitar hooks. I'm going to buy a four pack from Amazon here and go for the same setup.

I keep my acoustics in the case, also I have a few higher end ones I don't keep out. But my daily players which I have about 7-8 sit on a rack like this.
