I think it's a best idea if some manufacturers of multiple guitar stand will put a security locks on it,so just in case a visitor or house sitter won't be tempted to touch my guitars and mess around with it..
Great review and thank you addressing ease of use. I have the string swing rack and it's dysfunctional. Yes, the guitar wants to sit upright (unstable) so I have to kneel down and position the guitar body so it tilts back. When the guitar tilts back, the narrow neck cradle pinches the E string and puts stress on the nut. So I then have to angle the neck so the strings aren't pinched. Bad design all around.
I believe both companies claim it won’t based on materials used. But time ultimately will tell. Depends on how much faith you put in these companies I suppose.
hey man do you have this plastic binding that kind of pokes out from the middle of your yokes? I just got my hercules stands and it seeing it kinda bugs me out
You have your Dean CFL on the Hercules so it fits better for off set guitars cuz ive have Explorers and Flying V"s and have not seen a rack to accommodate offset guitars just right and be safe .
Ya it fits an ML shape if you’re careful putting it in. It doesn’t really fit all V’s that well. Depends on the V shape. Can’t speak for explorers. Never tried one.
Acoustic would take 2 spots depending on the depth. Depending on the guitars it might be possible to get an acoustic with 5 electrics but it’d be pretty tight. You’d have to try it for yourself.
THE MOST EXCITING VIDEO ON THE INTERNET!
Jump ahead:
Intro - 0:00
My 8 criteria for comparing guitar rack stands - 1:59
1. Looks - 2:17
2. Expandability - 3:28
3. Spacing - 4:26
4. Sturdiness - 5:55
5. Price - 7:40
6. Footprint - 9:20
7. Ease of Use - 10:40
8. Mobility - 12:22
Final Verdict - 14:04
Now you need to compare the Hercules to the K&M multi guitar stand.
Top 5 opening, all time.
It's good clean fun for the whole family!
You're walking over here but you're limping back. 😆
I made my own stand rack thing. I put office chair wheels on it so I can roll it out of the way when needed.
Nice!

Thanks for watching, glad you found the review helpful.
Thanks for making this video
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Funny notations 😂 good stuff
Awesome video, thanks!
Cheers. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. My concern is will the plastic contact points on the guitar affect the finish of the instrument over time?
I believe both companies claim it won’t based on materials used. But time ultimately will tell. Depends on how much faith you put in these companies I suppose.
Hi, Is this good for explorer shaped guitars? Specifically a Schecter E-1
No idea, I don’t have that specific guitar.
Great video. Can you have the hercules placed right up to the wall without the headstocks hitting the wall?
That would depend on the guitar or bass you have and the shape of the headstock. Mine is off the wall a bit.
hey man do you have this plastic binding that kind of pokes out from the middle of your yokes? I just got my hercules stands and it seeing it kinda bugs me out
Nah I don’t think I do

@@ScottBynoe Thanks, been looking for a rack that will hold offset guitars safely ..
the string swing is so pretty, wish it had the padding, angle, and modularity of the hercules
I hear ya. String swing looks with the functionality of the Hercules would be the perfect rack.
can u say in Swing is possible to use for 5 electric and 1 acoustic? or acoustic take 2 places? thanks !
Acoustic would take 2 spots depending on the depth. Depending on the guitars it might be possible to get an acoustic with 5 electrics but it’d be pretty tight. You’d have to try it for yourself.
The Hercules should have won on price as well even with the extra modules. It's 40-50% RRP cheaper depending on what country you are in.
My uncle owns string swing
top 👍👍👍
Cheers!
Unless the rack is made from poultry 🐔, it's "yoke" not "yolk".
This one is made from chickens. Forgot to mention that in the beginning. Now I have egg on my face.
@@ScottBynoe you did say yoke and not yolk. what the heck is that guy talking about? Not egg on your face just the yoke is on you. LOL
Funny dude
Mo yolks mo problems
Sorry, cant take that many dumb jokes
You must be so sad. Poor thing.
