This is the Original Style This is the best way to hold and display your guitar. These cradles are for people that love their instrument. At present, they work with guitars with a symmetrical bottom bout. They are not suitable for offset bottoms, V shaped guitars or bass guitars. These models are in process. Also custom variations upon request. The cradle gently allows your guitar to rest. It does not put any stress on the neck, resulting in your guitar staying in tune longer, and eliminating damage to the neck from the guitar weight leaning against it. The area behind the guitar is gracefully curved away to provide clearance, and it adds a touch of beauty as well. The cradle allows an open visual experience. No ugly tubes or straps to detract from the beauty of the guitar. Each cradle is shipped Ready to Assemble to save shipping cost. Easy assembly, screws and instrucions provided. You will need a #2 Phillips Screwdriver. NOTE: If this stand will be used on carpet, or the guitar is top heavy, you may want to consider our Series 2 stands. They have less setback and are a heavier stand. This product is proudly handmade in Crestview, Florida, USA. Instruments NOT included. Finish: Gloss Poly or Acrylic.
