The Gator Frameworks Elite Series guitar hanging stand elegantly displays instruments in the studio, living room or showroom floor. A sturdy construction and stable base safely hold your acoustic, electric or bass guitar while a rubberized yoke with soft plastic end caps prevent scratches to the headstock and neck. The hanging stand can be placed directly against the wall without contact to the headstock and is safe for polyurethane finishes. Compatibility with vintage/lacquer finishes has not been tested.
