I bought this stand after bringing home after giving up on a traditional sub-10 dollar stand for my Flying V. Everytime I set the guitar on that stand, the strap would get tangled up or it bacame a balancing act. After "solving the problem with duct tape" on the bottom portion of that stand and then immediatly noticing how crappy that looked for my $1K instrument, I searched for another stand. The GS100 had plenty of good reviews and was on sale w/ free shipping so I took a chance on it. Turns out it is exactly what I was looking for--the 'legs' do not interfere with the guitar strap (which is good because mine is permanently attached from using the 'washer' strap-lock method) and since the guitar just hangs there from the neck support, there is no balancing act required. I also like that it seems to 'display' your axe rather than just support it. And and others have mentioned, it folds up rather nicely if you need to take it with you.
