I see herc makes one that is a "mini" acoustic stand, but it looks kind of flimsy, even though I know they usually make a very nice product. Beggin suggested Stageline stands, but I wondered what everyone else was using. | ||

They are called the K&M Wave-10. EXCELLENT stands for round back and contour back guitars. Less excellent for wooden boxes. But they work GREAT for ukuleles and mandos as well. They fold flat and small as hell and cost about $15. | ||

I have one of each, and they are very well built, much more sturdy than Fender's version of which I have a half dozen. The low profile units are good for packing, but are more susceptible to accidents by clumsy drummers and roadies. Because nobody walks through my stage space, I prefer using the lower profile A-frame type. I purchased a carton of A-frame models by Toneworks at an auction. These are the most heavy duty of the low profile models. They open up into variable positions held in place by a finger-activated recessed pin. They're so heavy duty that they're neither light nor all that packable. I just leave it on stage. | ||
