I'm a custom furniture maker & also play guitar. I think I may make myself a couple with a revised design, perhaps out of spalted maple, curly maple, black limba or? Endless design & wood possibilities! I do think it would look better using thick stock. It looks like the ones listed are only 3/4" stock.
Hey Trogly, I've been using a string swing with my Gibson SG for about 9 years now on my wall and no damage or stand rash at all. Great product and beautiful stand!
yes I have two of them and they are nice only 12.99 but they do cover the head stock in pictures. I also have a chrome fold out stand that works OK too but I like the ones that bolt to the wall the best.
Pretty sure those are the String Swing hooks - got 4 of them on my wall. Really decent at holding the guitars of any headstock. I have mine drilled into a solid piece of decorative wood that's then attached to the wall where the studs are. No fuss.
I bought two of the Zither branded ones in red oak. I was torn about mahogany, 50% more expensive but I thought it would match better. However the pictures didn't really show the color well and I went with the cheap ones. On this video you show the rich mahogany color and I wish I'd sucked it up and went with it. I can say this: these stands are fantastic. To prevent any risk of nitro burn as insurance I just put an old baby sock on each side of the holder and no worries.
Consider yourself lucky with that lemon oil. It sounds difficult, but it's only used to condition an existing oil finish. The old rule on actually creating rubbed oil finishes (with boiled linseed oil) was to apply one coat a day for the first week, one coat every week for the first month, one coat each month for the first year, and then one coat per year for the rest of eternity. Also, they would use either 000 or 0000 steel wool on the item followed by a thorough wipe with tack cloth before each new coat. This process is pretty much why people stopped using oil finishes. On the other hand, regularly applying lemon oil to a rosewood fretboard is highly recommended as long as you don't overdo it. (Caveat: opinions vary wildly as to what constitutes 'overdoing it'. Use your own discretion. )
It's not recommendable to "overdo" that as Lemon Oil is a cleaner instead of a conditioner and can actually dry out a fretboard if used too frequently and without at least a slight coat of linseed oil afterwards to get some of the moisture back in you took out with the Lemon oil.
I have a non-Gibson zither stand and love it. Can save a lot of cash by not going for the Gibson branded one. The yoke is made by String Swing, and Phil McKnight uses them for all his guitars without damaging nitro from what I remember him saying.
Just an FYI to anyone who might be interested, the bike hangers they sell for 80 cents at Menard's - the ones coated in the blue coating - make good wall hangers and are nitro safe. I've been hanging my 125 on one for a while with no issues.
The problem with making the stands to fit side by side is the inverse shapes would have a narrow toe, or front. This would make it less stable as the center of gravity is rather forward when the guitar is on it, and stability is important.
This past Friday 2/23/24 on his weekly live steam, Phil McKnight discussed that Gibson is no longer sourcing these stands from Zither, a tiny made-in-USA company, and are now trying to squash them by making the stands themselves. Come on Gibson! I have two Zither stands (and a guitar rack)...best I've ever owned and beautiful
I have hung my guitars on the wall for years, not one issue, not even a close call. I have music room in the basement, bought hanger brackets from Lowe’s that they make for hanging rakes and brooms in the garage. Drilled a hole in the concrete, put an anchor in, and screwed the hanger in. Those hangers that hardware stores sell for take and brooms fit perfectly for guitars. Give it a try sometime Austin! Also, I am not a very handy person when it comes to projects and I did it with ease, so don’t think you have to be a carpenter to do some of this stuff.
Ordered something from Sweetwater a lil while back and they sent me a free bag of candy. I don't always buy from them, but I try to if the deal is the same. Free candy = I'm actually more excited by the free candy than what I ordered.
@ you realize some people actually practice moderation and can occasionally snack on candy without suddenly becoming obese diabetics shedding body parts left and right...right?
US$200? The most I've ever spent on a guitar stand is the equivalent of US$7, for a cheap little metal A-frame stand. It's more stable than that pretty Gibson stand: the guitar's weight rests on padded supports an inch above the floor instead of being dangled by the headstock from 45 inches up. The Gibson stand needs to be where it can't get knocked over, like in a display case -- except in earthquake-prone California, where it might not be safe even then.
Just use both of your stands for camera shots. Fender stand for headstock shots, and Gibson stand for the body shots. Best of both worlds. Almost like having a les paul and a telecaster. :)
Or you can spend like 10.00 for the wood and how ever much that headpiece cost by its self and make your own lol. I am sure it would be much cheaper, and you could personalize it how ever you wanted. I'm guessing you can save yourself about 100 or more just doing it yourself, but what would I know I guess. :)
@@banditkeithkingofduelmonsters When it comes to wood, the only real difference I see, is looks. All wood will warp if not treated correctly, and if you stain the wood and gloss it to seal it, then its not likely going to warp considering we are talking about a guitar stand in your house. :) Though I could be wrong.
@@jrblanston Thanks for the nice words :) while I am always willing to admit my ignorance when it is a issue, try as i might I do not see where ether the OP or responses have been dumb. Would you care to enlighten me?
If you were to put it in a more permanent spot, it wouldn’t be anything to bevel some screw holes in the base. Then buy some pretty brass screws and screw it down to the floor for added security against tipping. I kinda like them, I’ll probably give them a shot. It looks nicer sitting around, like a piece of furniture.
@@Trog go with a smaller aperture- higher number- and it will increase the depth of field to compensate for the lean of the guitar and keep it all in focus. Shutter speed will slow or ISO will increase to compensate, or you can increase lighting to even exposure.
Hey Trog, I took your advice on loving some of the lesser known Gibson models and picked up an old Gibson MK-35 for 600 USD! It's one of my favorite guitars to play now, and a great first acoustic.
Hey Austin...cool stands...I've seen similar (or same) on Henning's show and didn't Louis (The Tone King) demo a Non Tip-Overable (real words? Not sure...lol) wood stand a while back? These are nice...and cool to get it thrown in with a purchase! 😎🎸🐦🤘
@5:10 Dude! Don't throw that away! That is the most versatile and useful thing known to man. Not only can it cover exposed threads, but it can also be used as a vacuum cap on car engine. A cap for caulk gun. Eyeglass retention system: put 1 on each of the earpieces. Holds to your head snugger and won't slip. 2 for noise or swimmer's earplug . Single pill holder. 10 of them for babies who often scratch themselves accidentally. 2 of them to use as nostril plugs for nosebleeds or swimming. Very small drinking cup or shot glass...er rubber..plastic whatever. Substitute for a lost ink pen cap. Condom joke gift. Conversation piece for when the Highway Patrolman finds one in your pocket...or ear...or nose. Combination waterproof pencil eraser protector and crib note hideout for cheating students with OCD. That's just a small sample there's so much more.
They should drill a hole in the center of that support pole and insert a carbon fiber pole for strength and it would keep it from warping. Its a great looking stand but warping and the added care is to much of an annoyance. thx for revew
On a hard surface, maybe. Watching you swing it on the carpet made me nervous imagining the fun my cat would have. I'll stick with the K&M rack for now.
Trogly..... STRING SWING is NOT nitro safe. I bought eight of them. After 1 week my maple Fender Custom Shop neck started turning red around the head stock. I spent an hour polishing it with lighter fluid to minimize the stain. No joke, I was livid. I had to modify all of them to protect the necks. Obviously, you are going to have a harder time seeing a dark finish/wood neck start to change. The neck I had begin to change was the vintage Fender yellow nitro finished maple.
I tried to order one of these from Gibson a few weeks ago only to be told they don’t ship to the UK, it’s no wonder the company struggles with service like that.
Oh man, I’m a professional photographer and can honestly say the angle of the stand has nothing to do with the angle of the photo. Just match the angle of the stand to the angle of your lens, and everything will look straight. No reason to spend the extra dough just to get it to stand straight.
That stand is the same Mahogany they use on the LP backs! I bet they send B stock to them to make those. PAH-DUKE, that is a really red wood until it oxidizes brown.
I have a few Hercules floor stands and wall hangers for my instruments. For $200 I could another floor stand or so. This one looks nice but I do wonder about how stable it will be.
Why did it not have it's larger black gripped screw cover on it in most of the video when the guitar was on it? Leaving it to just the screw, it looked almost flimsy like it could snap at any moment
hey im a big fan of your so i was wandering if you could talk about the gretsch electromatic jet club i got my self one and i persanly love it witch makes me wonder why there so little videos out there on this guitar id love your opinion
Only way i would buy this would be to display a '59 standard or a '57 black beauty behind glass. Otherwise a string swing or Hercules stand is more than good enough
You also get the guitar holder and screw inserts. You get sourcing, cutting, and finishing of the wood. The get use of the sandpaper, stain, brushes, a workbench, saws, router, drill, and the electricity to run the machines and lights. You get the cardboard box and lemon oil with a rag. You get someone to write out instructions, and someone to print them up. And let's not forget about the person who designed this thing. There are lots of people involved here. There is a reason a doctor calls a repairman when an appliance breaks. He's got other shit to do. We advance through specialization.
@@derekcole6750 Not right now, but you know what would be cool would be if the base had large, short dowels in it that fit onto a larger base with holes, like wooden Lego's. Then you could have a line of 4 or 5 that couldn't get knocked over.
I don't know about that stand,it looks like it's easily tipped over sidewards, mounting them to the floor would solve that issue though,at least with an A frame the guitar hasn't got far to fall as it's on the floor anyway almost, and $200 is not fairly priced,but it was free so win win 👍✌️
I've seen them before, they look reallly cool, would NEVER put my expensive guitarrs on a stand or hanger period. It stays in the case, then goes back in the case
Nice stand, but a little pricey for what it is. Fender has a nice wood display stand that I personally like better. (I have 2 of them). The branding is removable if desired. Check it out. Love your channel. Rock on.
Now Austin, you expected Gibson to include something for free? Those guys charge you for everything. :D But, don't worry about it hugging the headstock. If you have a Les Paul, it will eventually break off the headstock and solve that issue.
Having knocked over a guitar in a floor stand and broken some tuners off, I can honestly say my guitars hanging on the wall are much safer. Of course the hangers must be secured properly into a beam. Over 15 years with no mishaps.....so far.
Ain't that just the way it goes, buy one thing then you need to buy another thing to support the first thing, after which it's nice to have this other thing to make the first thing sound better and then you got to get that other thing fixed and so get an interim thing so you can keep doing your thing with your thing. And then, 👩🏼✨ one day you see this other thing ...
Now that I know Zither makes these fancy stands without branding... and with cooler colors - I really want one of the purple ones!

Dale the wood is 4/4 planed to 15/16”.
A relative of the dude who makes them goes to my church. They’ve been in the main sanctuary for years. Good stuff.
Hey Trogly, I've been using a string swing with my Gibson SG for about 9 years now on my wall and no damage or stand rash at all. Great product and beautiful stand!
Yeah, $12.99 makes a lot more sense. Plus, there's the bonus of being able to hang it out of reach for children (and pets).
I also use String Swing holders, they are legit. Only kind McNight uses for his (many) guitars hanging on his walls.
Another thumbs up for String Swing here Bullet proof Easy to install and you can buy a room full of them for what Gibson wants for that stand

I have done the same. Looks great and is cheap.
Yes we use only String Swing cradles.
Thank you for the review. We are a small Mom and Pop shop in Texas. String Swing cradles only. Hand rubbed oil finish.
The fall test gave me anxiety. Just one wrong move and there goes your guitar and new stand.
bolt it to the floor..

Nature Boy - your language makes it no surprise that you didn't get the joke.
I met this company at NAMM. Great people!
For me it’s a little bit expensive, it looks nice, but I think this is more for a recording studio or a fancy guitar room 🙈
Since it's a Gibson, shouldn't the neck be set and not bolt-on? :-)

Carnac The Magnificent thank you for buying our stands.
Wow, how un-authentic of gibson. Couldn't even include a picture of it on the workbench 😂
I got mine on amazon too...the wood base ones, sturdy solid and safe for your neck.

Extremely important.
I bet that base plate could be made into a instrument. It resonated so well.
Hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe hehehe
It's good to know these stands aren't chambered
It’s pronounced pah-DOOK. Looks really orange when lacquered. Really hard wood and great for acoustic guitar backs and sides. Cheers.
Or for entire guitars, if you are Ben Crowe.
Forest Fifer yes, and the fretboard if you’re Rosa String Works 😏. Talk about a nightmare for re-frets.

I did the same thing with brackets I found at home depot. I screwed cassette tapes through them for the look.
Black sheets on the base and as a backdrop would make for nice b roll shots.. just letting you know.
I love this kind of comment where you're giving positive solid creative information without cheek.
👍🏻
Thanks man 🎸
Got two from sam ash about 5 years ago. They are nitro safe and never oiled mine and had no problems.
Great review and a beautiful stand
Very nice Diablo. I love the carved tops, especially the AUTUMN BURST

The stand is cool. But I would love to see you review a Chet Atkins country Gentleman guitar. Or even a knock off if they make them.
I find wall hangers are a lot more space efficient. Also much cheaper. These stands do look very cool though.

@@_dmfd IKR? I get that all the time. You oughtta see what I can do with sawdust.
That’s a nice high quality stand. I like the branding.
I still haven't found anything better than the Hercules stands. Stable, the automatic locking arms are a nice plus and not too expensive.
Best guitar stand for a Gibson Explorer and Flying-V? Using the PRS Floating Guitar Stand...but only 1-2 inches of clearance at the bottom.
They should drill a hole in the center of that support pole and insert a carbon fiber pole for strength and it would keep it from warping. Its a great looking stand but warping and the added care is to much of an annoyance. thx for revew

I tried to order one of these from Gibson a few weeks ago only to be told they don’t ship to the UK, it’s no wonder the company struggles with service like that.
I think this comes under the heading "What to get a guitarist who has everything". A simple metal A frame stand is good enough for me.
I don't like hanging guitar stands. I always feel like they put stress on the headstock and neck.
Wearing Fender shirt while reviewing an over priced Gibson stand lol. Some people will lose their minds. Love the videos. Keep them coming.
can I have an epiphone version please. :/
Oh man, I’m a professional photographer and can honestly say the angle of the stand has nothing to do with the angle of the photo. Just match the angle of the stand to the angle of your lens, and everything will look straight. No reason to spend the extra dough just to get it to stand straight.
Woah, nice SG. Love those inlays.
They do look cool. I love the vintage kinda 70s look to em.
What kind of sg is it???
I´d go for the Purple Heart version....
I wouldn't use the lemon oil on it, I would do some research to find out exactly what kind of oil they used on it in the first place.
That stand is the same Mahogany they use on the LP backs! I bet they send B stock to them to make those. PAH-DUKE, that is a really red wood until it oxidizes brown.
Was listening to epic by faith no more. Immediately clicked this after the main part lol
Can't have everything......

Umm.. i saw an identical box at FedEx today in Santee, CA. You don't happen to live in San Diego do you??
But! Are they Norlin Les Paul Custom safe?
I'd be worried about mine, looking at that hanger.
Also, that stand is beautiful.
I’ve been waiting for a new video for 5 hours
That guitar hanger part looks exactly like a string swing one, and they are nitro safe as well so maybe they did partner with them
hey im a big fan of your so i was wandering if you could talk about the gretsch electromatic jet club i got my self one and i persanly love it witch makes me wonder why there so little videos out there on this guitar id love your opinion
Only way i would buy this would be to display a '59 standard or a '57 black beauty behind glass. Otherwise a string swing or Hercules stand is more than good enough
Price aside, really nice stand.
You don’t trust the studs in your wall? Are they made of cardboard instead of wood in your house?
Very nice!I'll take one in Fender & Gretch to!
Damn, a guitar stand more expensive than my guitar lol. Knew this day was coming, ofc its gibson.
It just goes to prove that there's one born every minute!
@ Well, without wanting to offend
anyone. $200 for two pieces of wood and two screws.....
As my dad would have said; 'I think someone saw you coming!'

Use scrap metal so the base is heavy, maybe rebar bent like a spine and add electrical and pressure gauges with a low power LED. Now I have an idea!
Haha,yeah! Right on!
Looks a lot like the Nimbus 3000
That stand is cool but the SG is killer
The inlays are sick!
they should put a truss rod in it to keep from warping
Now Austin, you expected Gibson to include something for free? Those guys charge you for everything. :D But, don't worry about it hugging the headstock. If you have a Les Paul, it will eventually break off the headstock and solve that issue.
How stable is it side to side on a "tip over test"?

Having knocked over a guitar in a floor stand and broken some tuners off, I can honestly say my guitars hanging on the wall are much safer. Of course the hangers must be secured properly into a beam. Over 15 years with no mishaps.....so far.
Same here, my main guitars I pick up everyday are on a wall..my others I keep in their cases
What kind of tone wood is it made out of?😁
Nice stand!
Love that SG!
i’ve had too many single stands fall i only use wall hangers and guitar boats
Or....you could use the base as a guitar body! That would be awesome.
And use the vertical piece for a neck!
It wouldn't be much different than my SG 😒🎸
Ain't that just the way it goes, buy one thing then you need to buy another thing to support the first thing, after which it's nice to have this other thing to make the first thing sound better and then you got to get that other thing fixed and so get an interim thing so you can keep doing your thing with your thing. And then, 👩🏼✨ one day you see this other thing ...
