4.0 out of 5 stars Works fine but smells bad
They weren't kidding when the instructions noted that the guitar stand might smell. We followed their advice and put it outside in the sun to air out but that only helped a little. After a few weeks, the noxious rubber/plastic smell is finally wearing off. Otherwise, it is sturdy and trouble free at a great price.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Very Different Experience
I have not had the positive experience with the XCG4 that other reviewers on this site have had. There are two main problems:
1. The arms at the bottom of the stand which cradle the guitar from underneath swivel wildly and at the slightest touch. Just the act of removing the guitar from the stand can cause the lower arms to swivel out of place so that when I return...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, September 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
There are things about this stand that make it affordable, and it is those things that also add to it's value.

The cradle just sits in the main tube and swivels easily - but this ensures that however you place the guitar on it, it will settle into it.

The top tube insets into the bottom tube and the nut at back holds it in place - this allows you to adjust the height on the top cradle.

The legs are pop-riveted in - that means it folds up easily. NOTE: You have to make sure the legs are snapped into place when open or the stand will not be stable.

I like the security rubber band, it keeps the guitar from popping out while your carrying it around.

The padding on the bars fits well, no slippage.

The feet are rubber, no slip and long lasting. Great bargain here, I really like this stand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Item and Deal, January 28, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This stand is exactly what I hoped it would be. It is all I want or need from a stand. I do not intend to travel around with it but it would be easy to fold up to do so. The strap for across the neck of the guitar to hold it into place is a great plus too. Can't beat it for the price and American Musical Supply shipped this item the next business day after ordering. Delivery cost was low and it arrived in just a few days standard shipping to Texas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish and Useful, March 12, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This stand shows your guitar with it stylish look, protects it with the little rubber lock thingy over the neck part, it is safe and strong. I am very happy with the transaction. The stand worths the money and the shipping is super fast. Even if you travel with your guitar, just fold the stand and take it with you (it is not that heavy) and leave your guitar on the stand when you take a break.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stand for the price, May 7, 2007
By bribri (San Rafael, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Easy to setup, and holds my Les Paul just fine; sturdy.

As an aside, Zzounds was awesome in delivery. I received the order the next day, with standard shipping. They shipped from Nevada to my place in the SF Bay Area.

5.0 out of 5 stars sturdy and trouble-free, September 7, 2009
This is a sturdy stand. I have paid as much as $40 for similar stands. Offers a good way to "store" your guitar when not in use, but like any stand where you're storing your guitar in a vertical position, you need to place it so that you won't knock it over. As long as you're aware of this, you shouldn't have any problems. I just got this stand, but have used similar stands like it for years with no problems and no damage to my guitars.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Very Different Experience, July 5, 2008
I have not had the positive experience with the XCG4 that other reviewers on this site have had. There are two main problems:
1. The arms at the bottom of the stand which cradle the guitar from underneath swivel wildly and at the slightest touch. Just the act of removing the guitar from the stand can cause the lower arms to swivel out of place so that when I return the guitar to the stand, the lower arms are often turned the wrong way and unless I carefully turn the lower arms back to the correct position before placing the guitar back on the stand, my guitar is likely to go crashing to the floor.
2. The velveteen rubber padding wants to constantly slide off the upper arms leaving the guitar neck exposed to bare metal. The little plastic stoppers at the ends of the arms are supposed to prevent this from happening but when the padding starts to slide off, the stoppers offer little or no resistance and just pop out so I must constantly be pushing the padding back into position and pushing the stoppers back into the ends of the arms. And of course, with the stoppers constantly popping out and rolling across the floor, eventually and inevitably you will lose them, but that's OK because they don't do any good anyway.

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing part or faulty design, December 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: On Stage XCG4 Tubular Guitar Stand with Velveteen Padding and Security Strap (Electronics)
The part of the stand that holds the guitar's base swivels freely. I don't know if this is by design, or the one I received was missing a part to hold it in place. Two different guitars carefully placed on this stand have toppled (with the stand still attached by the neck strap) without being touched. If you care about your guitar, choose a sturdier stand.
