I've used quite a few guitar stands in my 20+years playing guitar. I prefer wall hangers best, but that's not always do-able. This stand may look simple, and may cost a little more, but it's worth every penny. Without a doubt the best stand I've ever laid my hands on. Not only does it fold up in a millisecond, to a compact, portable/storable size, but it is rock solid to the max when it's unfolded. The two sections, one in back for electric instruments, one in front for acoustic (or electric), each have neoprene covering their very stout "feet". The whole stand is made rock solid, like a tank. The two slots each fit a wide variety of instrument shapes and sizes. Forget the idea that you need something holding your guitar neck to keep it upright. This stand cradles your instrument in neporene and rubber--your axe is not going anywhere. Believe me, if it could happen to anyone, it would've happened to me. Not a single problem in the three years I've been using mine. Just the opposite. Sweetness and joy at this product being built so well, designed and manufactured to high standards. Don't hesitate.

Built rock solid, folds out easy. Was a bit hard to figure out how to best set the acoustic and electric into. As it came, with the acoustic in the front cradle, the electric would impact on the head/neck of the acoustic when removing the electric. Removing the acoustic to get to the electric is not an option. Bending the long back side arms back a small amount, angled the electric back enough to give enough room to pull the electric out without impact, while the acoustic stays in the front cradle. Works well. No danger of the thing tipping over at all.

I purchased this product for my bass guitars and found that it was not the right product for me.

For the front stand, the distance from the arms (that support the body) to the top of the a-frame (which supports the neck) is too far. The A Frame leans away from the arms and the arms are pretty long. As a result, both the acoustic and the electric leaned too much for my comfort. Both sat at an angle of about 60 degrees (relative to the floor), instead of the 85 degrees that would be almost perpendicular to the floor. Since they leaned so much, I was concerned that they would lack stability and fall over. The acoustic, because it has no weight in the body, fell once I let go of the neck.

The back stand was very narrow both front-to-back and side-to-side. Neither the neck, nor the body had any space between the supports and the guitar. Even the knobs rubbed against the supporting arms. The strings rubbed against the a-frame. It leaned at an acceptable angle, but there was no room for my electric bass guitar.

It does not appear to have any adjustments to remedy these issues.

I liked the idea of this stand, but the execution did not work for my guitars. I think if the back arms were longer and slightly more apart and the front arms were shorter, that the product might have worked for my equipment. I gave the product an extra star for good workmanship and padding.

Acoustic: Carlos Robelli 4 string

Electric: Washburn 5 string

This is a great product for home or stage use - it is solidly built and protects the instruments well. It supports one acoustic and one electric guitar (or mandolin), or 2 electric guitars. Should last a long time.

Sits flush on carpet , wood or tile floors. It is VERY stable and slight bumps to stand or instrument are safe!

Works like advertised, but see other comments about various guitar fitting issues.

Currently I've managed to hold a Fender Telecaster and a Les Paul on it: Telecaster out front and Les Paul on the back, perfectly.

But due to the design of the stand/guitars: will not fit Les Paul up front and Tele in the back.

Otherwise, sturdy, strong, and a small foot print.

I was a little hesitant to buy this. Looking at the picture I thought it too closely resembled another stand that I found flimsy and unstable. I was wrong. This is the most solid stand I have ever owned. I researched it and found nothing but praise so I took a chance. The only other consideration was that almost everyone said they had to bend back the two long supports on the electric side in order to keep two headstocks from knocking together. I don't know how this flaw slipped by onstage but it is true. But, bending them does work. The materials are sound enough to take the bending and once you do it, it works exactly as described. I had been using it for two Telecasters (hard to find stands that accomodate them)and it worked perfectly. Even better I decided to use the acoustic side as a stand for my practice amp (A Fender Frontman 15G)and it works peerfectly. You can plug and unplug your guitar without the stand shaking or wiggling, heck, you couldn't kick the thing over. After watching my Teles tip over and slip out of other stands I am completely sold on OnStage in general and this double stand in particular. I'm getting some more to use at gigs.

I bought this as a Christmas gift. It's very convenient for those who own more than one guitar but don't really need the triplet stands. It holds both the electric and acoustic as it's supposed to, you just have to do a little maneuvering to keep the necks from hitting or the strings from getting smashed. Other than that, it's good quality and seems to be pretty sturdy.

I switch between acoustic guitar, mandolin, and banjo when playing live, and needed a way to have instruments at the ready without cluttering up the stage with tripod stands. My only concern with this one was that I couldn't find out ahead of time whether instruments other than guitars would fit.

It turns out this stand is pretty versatile. The front arms are made for an acoustic guitar and the back ones for an electric, but my banjo can fit comfortably in either slot, and the electric guitar space can accomodate a mandolin or an electric bass guitar as well.

Other reviews have mentioned the low center of gravity, and this stand does indeed seem impossible to knock over. Every instrument that I've placed in it seems to rest firmly and securely, with no tipping over or sliding around. I also appreciate that the stand folds closed for transport and is very small and low-profile. I highly recommend this as an unobtrusive way to store multiple instruments.

I play a bunch of instruments and it's really nice when you can fit two in just a little more space than is occupied by one. I have a couple On-Stage single stands and like their quality so when I saw this I figured I'd give it a shot. I wasn't disappointed.
