Recommend me guitar stand that will hold an offset electric guitar

builttospill · March 2018

I have a gig coming up in a month, Ideally looking for something that's sturdy very portable and nitro friendly. It will be a small stage so nothing too bulky. I've looked at Hercules, Fender, K&M amongst others but I'm still undecided. I do like the K&M double guitar holder as I'll be using my strat + offset but worried it's a little too big? I also like the look of this Hercules but guessing that it would struggle to hold my offset electric. Any suggestions?

I’ve got a Hercules for my Jazzmaster. Do it.

I love these little Hercules things. Nitro friendly (based on several different nitro guitars), they fit a JM just fine - it looks a bit wonky, but it's stable. And I've never had anything knocked off one in 10 years using them.

I've never put an offset guitar on mine, but I have two of those and I really like them.

They fold down impressively small too- should cram in to a gig bag pocket or sit in the back of an open backed combo easily.

I used a double-neck-hanging Hercules recently and it was great. The legs have a fairly big footprint, but not excessive when you compare it to the space that you're going to need for two guitars in the first place.

I have a fender A frame one which has adjustable arms and a third ‘arm’ which can hold normal guitars, but you can configure it to hold all the odd shapes by raising one arm. Holds my explorer great!

Got it from Andertons.

I have both... the foldable small one is not so good at reassuring me that my Jag will still be standing, however the neck grab one is very good.

Two of my offsets are on a hanging-by-the-neck Hercules stand similar to @GavRichList and another on an older XCG stand which I'm not sure are still available. Having a neck support makes me worry less!
