Kinsman Wooden A-Frame Electric Guitar Stand

Really nice product

I've had this since May 2020 and its really nice. I've had a standard guitar stand in the past but it had really wide, splayed feet which took up a fair bit of space. This one doesn't, its nice and contained and holds the guitar well (the guitar in question being a Strat copy).The soft-is material maintains a good grip on the guitar whilst its resting. The jack sits on the side of my strat as opposed to below the finger plate on a real strat, but there's no worry of the cable getting in the way when you put the guitar down on this stand i.e. you can leave your guitar plugged into your amp/computer, set the guitar down and the guitar sits fine in the stand.The guitar would only fall over if you knocked it over, or somehow set it down squiff. Would I buy this again? Yeah I would. Its a funky device with plenty of style, and its looked after the guitar just fine!

In general, a really well-made stand with futuristic looks. The workmanship and the materials are really good. Folds into something more or less compact, too.Now, the problem is that I am using it for a Jazz Bass, the same as the one-star reviewer, and I have to agree that there's a bit of a compatibility problem. The stand's legs are at the same level, and the JB's bridge end is asymmetrical. So you can either place it on the stand at an angle (bad, bad idea) or off-centre, which sort of works, but isn't perfect.Furthermore, the 'antennae' that the higher part of the guitar's body leans against don't hold it that strongly anyway, and with a full-scale bass, with the neck as long as it is and the centre of gravity higher than that of a guitar, it's way too easy to knock it over.So if you want a cool-looking foldable stand and are ready to compromise stability, or if you know for sure nobody's gonna tip your axe over, that's the best stand I've seen. But if you want functionality and stability at the expense of good looks, a bog-standard A-frame, especially with a U-bracket for the neck, is a better option.

I needed a compact guitar stand when I wanted to take some photos to advertise a few guitars on an online website and my existing stands were too cumbersome and intrusive when I took the photos. I saw this Kinsman and thought it would be ideal - and it was! It is smart, very sturdy and stable and really compact so it was ideal and looked great but minimalist on the photos. It ia also excellent value and looks really smart in my lounge and on stage. I highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded.  I like the design. No possibility of the stand leaving any marks on the guitars. You do need to tighten the bolts on occasion as they’ll loosen off over time.

Bought as a Christmas gift not for myself

I have six including the acoustic version - excellent stands and look good

I never thought a guitar stand could be not only a clever design but also a beautiful object in its own right.These stands are fantastic. I bought two - one for my classical and the other for my vintage Strat. The qualityof both is stunning - more like a sculpture than a guitar stand.But they also do their job superbly well and hold instruments securely plus show them off to their best. Ideal for residential use rather than the rough & tumble of gigging (use the usual ugly black tubular monstrosities for that!)I no longer gig so I'm definitely going to replace all my other black tubular monstrosities with Kinsman wooden stands.There's no comparison in any way. Quality - design - practicality - great value.I'd award these win win stands ten stars if I could.
