AboutDave Dixon Expertise Guitar player since 1987. Studied at Musicians` Institute. Worked as guitar/music teacher since 1991.
Experience Since joining AllExperts I have been getting rated with 9's and 10's from most of the people I've answered questions from, so I guess that I must be doing something right. Not all that many people can be wrong.
Questions about theory, technique, equipment, players, history, etc. welcome - just about anything in fact. The only things I prefer not to answer are requests for transcriptions, or equipment assessments/valuations.
My name is Will Hart.I am in the Engineering Design and Development class at Glencoe High School in Hillsboro, Oregon. For my project, I have to validate that improvements to guitar stands are necessary. Do you believe, from your experience with handling guitars and guitar stands, that there could be improvements made? For example, have you ever had damage to one of your guitars from the guitar being bumped out of the stand? Do you wish that placing the guitar in the stand could be both instant and secure?
I'd appreciate your feedback,
-Will Hart
Answer I've not got a whole lot of experience with guitar stands - I have a couple which I've used for ages and not really had any cause to change. One thought though - a guitar stand should have sufficient padding so that the guitar is cushioned. This should be made of a material which does not react in any way with the finish of the guitar.
