Never accidentally knock your guitar off the stand again.
The Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs features the innovative Hercules Auto Grab System (AGS) yoke: the arms turn in and up with the weight of your guitar to hold it securely and simply open up when you lift it off. The legs and all contact points with the instrument feature Specially Formulated Foam (SFF) rubber to protect your guitar's finish. Also features the Hand Grip Height Adjuster, which makes adjustments a breeze with a locking pin to secure the stand in place. A folding backrest flips down to support your guitar and back up for storage and transport.
All Hercules stands are safe for most nitrocellulose lacquer finish guitars*.
*Hercules tests for many types of nitro finish, however some guitar manufacturers change their nitro mixture often. Guitars should never be stored on a stand...always in the case.

This is a much sturdier, better thought out design the the one made by Ultimate (which I bought this one to replace - and worth the few extra dollars. I only knocked off one point for price and because the leg lock knob doesn't seem to have a detent like the ones on the yoke height adjuster, so it's hard to tell when it's tight enough.
I like the auto-grab thingy, and the legs fold down in such a way that they just can't collapse, even if the knob isn't tight enough. Detents for the pin in the yoke height adjuster are a plus.
Seems very well built.
A little pricey, but I'd rather not have my bass hit the floor over a few bucks.

This is a well made stand. However, there is a basic flaw in the design of the auto-grab feature that renders it useless. Typically a tripod based guitar stand is most easily toppled forward, which is also the worst direction for a traditional open pronged neck rest since there is nothing to stop the guitar from falling out in that direction. Not a problem with the auto-grab in place though right? Wrong! The system relies on the weight of the guitar hanging down, so as the stand topples forward as soon as the bottom of the guitar touches the floor the weight that engages the mechanism is removed; the result being that the auto-grab arms open just the same as if you were lifting the guitar up. Since there is nothing holding the guitar from below -there can?t be in order for the auto-grab system to work ? the result is even more catastrophic than the traditional design. Those at least have the hooked rests at the bottom, which make the tipping point harder to reach. When tipped forwards the Hercules stand, in effect, ejects your guitar forwards as soon as the bottom of the guitar touches the ground! The only way to counter this is to raise the height of the guitar. This slightly increases the time before the bottom of the guitar touches the ground and gives you a little longer to grab it before it is ejected. Unfortunately, this also raises the centre of gravity, thus making it easier to topple the stand in other directions. The only solution I can think of would be to include the ability to lock the mechanism in feature designs. In sum, the traditional ? and typically cheaper - design of stand is far more secure.

Comments about Hercules Stands Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs:
This works great for guitars with Gibson style headstocks, but Fender, g&l and a few others have the gripping point at an angle, wearing down the rubber on the left side. would probably work better with nylon grips. Hope my guitar doesn't fall through one of these nights.

Comments about Hercules Stands Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs:
Forget cheap stands you will just end up throwing them out. The guitar is supported only by the neck. So it can hold any style from acoustic to crazy bc rich designs. The bases legs are nice and thick heavy tube metal. This weight gives it a really low center of gravity. So this will not fall over unless you push it over. After loving my first one I bought two more. Great product can't recommend it enough.
Comments about Hercules Stands Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs:
The design of the Hercules single guitar stand holds the guitar at the neck. Bearing the weight at the top has freed me from worrying about the cable connection at the base of my guitar which almost always got tangled up with my old stand and at times allowed the guitar to drop to the floor. So I for one am sticking with the Herc stand. No problems for the last 3 weeks of use. Yeah!
Very easy to adjust height to accomodate any size guitar. The padding is great. No more guitar body sound when placing my acoustic electric on the stand.

Comments about Hercules Stands Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs:
I have looked at every stand available in the marketplace and, in my opinion, this is the best available.The construction is sturdy. The stand is adjustable to compesate for different guitars lengths. And the locking mechanism works very well. This is just a great design that has been well executed.My only issue with this stand is that I would prefer it be all black. I'm not a big fan of the yellow painted piece on the stand. But the functional aspects of the product more than make up for that.
Comments about Hercules Stands Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs:
I love this stand! For basses, it has never failed on stage, in my music area. The grip and release is the best invention ever. The high quality parts and function are the bomb. I never took any other stands to live gigs due to not trusting them from tipping. It folds down pretty well. But, I would rather have a bit more less smallness when provided the strong design.

Comments about Hercules Stands Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs:
After 25 years of guitar playing this is by far the best stand I've ever owned. I wished I would have gotten the model with the fold down head though for traveling.
Comments about Hercules Stands Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs:
I really like this stand, but have a single complaint. If the height isn't adjusted high enough, the bolts just below the SFF rubber on the legs can easily scratch your guitar. The cheaper Hercules stand may be a better value. Otherwise, if you aren't going to adjust the height often (between a bass, acoustic and/or electric) this is an otherwise fail-safe, quality-built stand.
Comments about Hercules Stands Single Guitar Stand with SFF on Legs:
I own two of these and I have had no problems with them at all. They hold my Bass Guitar with great ease and the weight of the guitar pulls the mechanism down to lock the guitar in place. It is a great stand for me.
