This stand is a piece of art, its solid, its low profile, its made for ever and lot of people I know use this stand, because its so handy and sturdy. This is my second one. I already had the Heli accoustic stand, wich can be used for accoustic and electic guitars. This version is bit heavier and has more space between the bottom and floor. But almost look the same as the accoustic one. Good luck.
