Nordic EssentialsGuitar Stand for Acoustic/Electric/Classical Guitars and Violin, Ukulele, Bass - Folding, Portable and Lightweight -Fits Fender/Taylor/Gibson/Yamaha Music Instruments

A guitar stand to place my bass on at practise. First time out it was so difficult to extend the telescopic legs-so much so that I had to tug hard on one leg and it came apart. I couldn't fit it back without unscrewing a small screw and a tiny black ball popped out and rolled away. The whole thing is now useless....one leg is tough to extend and the other will now no longer hold when extended. It shouldn't have been so tough to extend leaving me no choice but to undo the screw so I could re-attach the fitting. It's been a monumental failure and I don't expect help on this despite it not being fit for purpose. I had such high hopes for a lightweight piece of kit that promised much but ended up as expensive trash :-(

Finally a decent stand that holds my acoustic in a way that doesn't make it nearly fall over every time there's a slight draft. I have 3 other A-Frame stands which are all fine for electrics. The one I previously had for my acoustic claimed to be fit for purpose and is simply not. As a result of this, my poor yammy has hit the deck already :(I've only just set this little beauty up and immediately the quality shines through. My acoustic sits on the plastic rubbery leg things, those little upward pointing knobbly bits are just right. There is some adjustment in the legs etc but if I'm honest, I just pull it all out as far as it will go in the hopes that will be the most stable. I also tried an epiphone les paul which sits in there just as nicely. The angle fairly straight, though stable and solid. I think I prefer this than too much angle, especially as a lot of places are space constrained.I did get this on a lightning deal and wouldn't really want to pay more than 25 sheets but for that price, it outclasses all my other A-frame stands and the foldaway design seems much more sensible than the others I have. You even get a little cloth baggy for it.Overall, I would say this has probably been designed by someone who actually plays as opposed to some manufacturer that has a moulding press/fabrication works and has only ever seen pictures of guitars on their stands. Good job and a very happy customer, I definitely recommend, especially if you have an A-frame and acoustic that slides about in a very unstable manner like the ashton that should really be in the bin!

It took quite a bit of pressure to push the grippers along it, to reduce the holding area to it's minimum depth, in order to hold a tenor ukulele - but now that's done it seems stable and sturdy. It is good for a tenor ukulele (8.3cm depth or more) but a bit big for a smaller one.

Sorry, Nordic, but an apparently identical (equally excellent) stand is available at very much less from at least one other vendor. Nordic tell me this relates to quailty and guarantee etc. Well, I have both and will likely buy several others. No prizes, however, for guessing from which vendor. So, good product, price not competitive - hence only 4 stars.

Really good product. Very well made , does exactly what it is supposed to do. Really pleased" i would have no hesitation to recommend this product to anyone . My experience was what it should always be , easy , trouble free and prompt . As stated the guitar stand looks and feels very well made, the finish is high quality which matches the guitar i want to use it with. It comes with a great carry bag that keeps it easy to pack into my guitar bag . Have three of these now and everyone has been of the same great quality

Without doubt the best portable guitar stand that I’ve ever bought (and I’ve tried lots!!) Really compact when folded down, sturdy and well balanced when used for guitar, mandolin, bouzouki. Comes in a really well presented pack so excellent as a gift too. 10/10"

This product is exactly what I hoped for, an extremely well designed super lightweight guitar stand that fits in my gig bag. The telescopic feet extend a long way back behind the stand and this gives the product a very stable feel. I live in London ,where driving anywhere is often slow and expensive , so I use light amps and a well padded gig bag and use the tube system. Now I don't have to lug a heavy bulky stand with me, life has got even easier. Well done Nordic Essentials this stand is perfect !

Brilliant product. Bought for use with an expensive jumbo acoustic, and I have no hesitation about trusting it to hold my guitar firmly in place. It also looks very good! I would thoroughly recommend this product. The service was also excellent, with the item arriving in excellent time, in excellent packaging.
