This is a fantastic stand. These are made really well, and are solid. They break down easily and efficiently. STRATOCASTER owners: this stand does not work well with the Fender Strat, because the output (TS) jack on the guitar lines up with one of the support arms on the stand, (I do NOT recommend this stand for Stratocasters). My other guitars, where the output jack is on the edge of the body of the guitar fit on the stand perfectly, with clearance for the lead cable.
