Best Guitar Stand new for 2023 Konig & Meyer Guardian 5 17525 Multiple Guitars Unboxing Video Review

Best new guitar stand for 2023 is the Konig & Meyer 17525 Guardian 5 multi-guitar stand. This is the Essex Recording Studios pick & unboxing video review for the best stand you can buy for multiple guitars. The main reasons for our decision is the compact design and most importantly the white dye-less rubber flexible contact points which means no black marks seating into your nitro/poly finish on your guitar. This is critical for vintage and high value instruments. We see guitars stained from their holders and stands regularly, and it is such a shame. This is the only multi-stand we have seen designed specifically to eliminate any dyes from the stand seeping into the paintwork and nitro/gloss finish of your guitar.

Laughing that there are no picks in the recording studio.. I made a four guitar holding rack from some wood I have. Used rubber foam and soft fabric to protect the guitars. I put nice office chair wheels on it so it rolls around easily. It is very stable even with the wheels. Nice review, this rack looks great.

Looking forward to receiving mine! I found your video having placed my order. fwiw I'm buying since my robot vacuum manages to knock over the tripod stands and hopefully this format will scupper it. Not to mention the space saving. Close contender was Hercules and rockstand. Even though I play Warwick basses and rockstand seems like a good choice, I prefer K&M for my office just based on the look.

Did you get it yet? If so how is it? I just ordered mine after ordering a cheap rank from Amazon. I don't have super expensive guitars, but I still want any dye bleed. Just got a Gretsch with a great finish.

@@PLANETWATERMELON yes! It took a little while as it was sent from Germany. But now it is here I am impressed. I have filled it and all good. Even 2 basses are quite happy in there, including a 50s Hofner. Your Gretsch will be happy! This is definitely one of those products that is so good, there is little to say. Solid, looks good, guitars are safe and the robot vacuum can't knock it over !

my robot just pushes the tripod stands around the room... which is annoying...

Thanks for your review. Can I ask you for the dimensions? I don't mean the unfolded dimensions, I mean the dimensions with a guitar (say Strat or better Jazzmaster). I am building a system where I have my amps as well as (hopefully) guitars and the guitar stand is what I haven't figured out yet. If you'd be so kind and measure for me (with a guitar, not bass)... what would be the smallest box they would fit to? Cheers!

Now I wish I'd gotten something better. The Fender and ProLine ones kind of suck. The guitars can rotate on their axis and hit the guitar behind it and there's nothing to stop the guitars from banging into each other if you aren't super careful.

@vincenzoa3052 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for review! Would you recomend it also for natural oil finish (no clear top coat) basses? I mean, no problems with direct contact with wood.

@EssexRecordingStudios Жыл бұрын

In my opinion, this is the best stand for any finish. It has no dyes, so there is nothing that can possibly transfer to the body of your instrument. All stands should be this way 👍

I bought it on the UK Amazon site but I believe you can order of the Thomann website. They are the largest music gear retailer in Europe and based in Germany where this company is from. I think you can order direct from the company's website as well. Let them know you heard about them from us here on KZfaq!
