Location: GA USA | My son has a Herc floor stand and a wall mount. The floor stand lets the guitar hang free, or rather rest against padded legs, at the bottom. Gravity locks the top, using springs, I guess.
The floor model is the perfect stand for a Deacon. My Deac doesn't sit well in my old stand.

Location: NJ | I have one of the "double" floor stands that I've grafted a microphone boom to the top of.
Eliminates the need for two stands at gigs.
It's a BIT "precarious" when the boom is fully extended and there's only one guitar on the stand (I'm playing the other one), but I've been able to "counter" it with a small, cordura nylon photographer's sandbag draped over the support leg directly opposite the boom. Works pretty good . . . |

Location: Massachusetts | I was toying with the idea of these stands after reading good things about them.
Well they had a billion of these sitting around the factory for the tour. I was convinced I needed one after that.
I bought the 2 guitar stand..couldn't find a 3 guitar stand in stores.
It is really cool but it is kind of big and it is a tad heavy to carry around though it folds up nicely.
Overall it seems really cool, really stable and really easy to use so far. |

Location: East Tennessee | I have the wall mount version. Best I've seen.
Might ask for the floor model for Christmas.
Maybe there will even be a guitar sitting in it.
( No I haven't been that good.) |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Has anyone used a 3 guitar version?
I have a couple of non-Herc 3 guitar stands and the backs of the deep bowls tend to bang together if I am not really careful.
Just wondering if the same was true of the Hercs. |

Location: GA USA | Here's an idea. My online art club, cafedna.com endorsed a line of art board, and we all got free art board.
Let the OFC endorse the best brands for our use, and get free stands, capos, strings, cables, amps, effects, road cases, stage lights, microphones, groupies, spandex, nose hair removers...
I can give you the address to back the truck up to. |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | Many of us are still waiting for our cut from Al for all the endorsements.
The most we've seen so far is an opportunity to buy more gear, at a great price, from a trustworthy source. |
