The locking mechanism failed and the guitar fell. Lifetime warranty my booty. They said that since I left my guitar on there overnight and for awhile then it's not covered. It's only meant to be used temporarily like on stage. C'mon now. I guess the locking mechanism is a failure point and that is their canned line. Anyways look at the angles of the legs, that's pretty poor engineering if you understand stability. Alas, it was the only one at the time that would fit my V. When it worked it was good, but not worth having your guitar take a dump.
