guitar stand
This guitar stand (for less than $10.00) is better than the $40.00 models I find at local music stores. It holds the instrument at the right angle and has padding in all the right places.

A Very Different Experience
I have not had the positive experience with the XCG4 that other reviewers on this site have had. There are two main problems:
1. The arms at the bottom of the stand which cradle the guitar from underneath swivel wildly and at the slightest touch. Just the act of removing the guitar from the stand can cause the lower arms to swivel out of place so that when I return the guitar to the stand, the lower arms are often turned the wrong way and unless I carefully turn the lower arms back to the correct position before placing the guitar back on the stand, my guitar is likely to go crashing to the floor.
2. The velveteen rubber padding wants to constantly slide off the upper arms leaving the guitar neck exposed to bare metal. The little plastic stoppers at the ends of the arms are supposed to prevent this from happening but when the padding starts to slide off, the stoppers offer little or no resistance and just pop out so I must constantly be pushing the padding back into position and pushing the stoppers back into the ends of the arms. And of course, with the stoppers constantly popping out and rolling across the floor, eventually and inevitably you will lose them, but that's OK because they don't do any good anyway.

The product arrived in perfect condition and very quickly. I would use them again.

It works
It really does smell, but you don't have to air it outside or anything. Easy to put together.

A Good Product
I have not had any problems with the stand. Only problem I can foresee having is the part that the guitar sits on seems to turn a bit if nudged by something. However I have only seen this without the guitar on it.
