There is nothing real fancy about this guitar stand except for the fact that it gets the job done.  I am using this one for a Michael Kelly 5 string fretless bass guitar and it functions just fine.  This unit only takes about 30 seconds to setup and is most portable.  It has a unique fold out design that is most easy to understand.  I am quite certain that this particular guitar stand can be used for many different shapes, sizes and configurations of stringed instruments.  5 stars.
