Fender 7 Guitar Case Stand  

I have had one of these cases for a little over a year and am not at all impressed especially with how expensive it is. I play at least twice a week and use the thing on a nightly basis. All of my snaps are broken off which doesnt bother me except ive already had to re rivet all the rivets holding the hinges back on. It also doesnt work the best for odd shaped guitars like the ovation large bowl or specialties like the V. The roadrunner case to me is a much more effective case and built out of sturdier materials.

Overall the quality, look and materials are very good.  However, the notched areas on the top of the stand where the guitar neck fits is a very narrow "V" shape that is too small for several of my guitars. This is especially true for bass guitars. Even on the guitars that fit into the notch, the strings are squeezed.  It is hard to imagine why such an important aspect of the product would be overlooked.  It would have been a simple matter for Fender to cut a slightly larger"U" shaped notch so that guitars of all sizes would easily fit. Also, I am unable to increase the size of the notch without damaging the lining of the case, but in order to use the stand, that may be the route I will have to take.

The Fender 7 Guitar Case Stand is the best in its league.  One very important feature I love about this is the fact that there are no metal parts that scratch the body/neck or catch the strings like some of the other stands do.  The spacers that are in the bottom can be placed anywhere.  The leather snap-in straps are a great non-harmful way to secure the guitar upright.  My main guitar is a 1985 Gibson Flying V and I have had tremendous trouble finding a multi guitar stand that it will fit on.  Many of them require you to lean the guitar, which doesn't work too well for a V.  This one holds them straight upright.  I would definitely buy this stand again, it does the job very well and looks very professional.
