Safest guitar stands (floor type)

Coastie is the LTGer with the most-y!

That's kinda like sayin' the Brothers Smothers were funny without givin' folks a taste via the YouTube.
Forthwith, a smorgasboard of Coastie99's posts:

Coiner of the immortal phrase: "Don't fear the veer"; which we honor daily, ever since.

Rich,

I believe so.

Fender corporate headquarters are in Scottsdale to be precise.
One of several American cities to be named after a truck, like Sonoma and Tahoe.
Fender oughta take a hint when deciding what to name their next guitar brand.
Kenosha's got a ring to it.
Or maybe Whitefish.
Sheboygan?
Or even, speaking of the great American southwest, Coconino?

Although Krazy Kat is one of America's better known (and deservedly so) icons, not so sure if you're familiar, so, a link to an article about that very strip:

Creator George Herriman was a true genius: witness the eternal relevance of a comic strip he pencilled in 1917 .
Gosh I just realized that's 100 years old.
I was thinking of hattedfrau's love of twisted wordplay when I posted it, but glad it resonated with you too.

One more for Darryl, from Coconino County:

Moral of story:
If God wanted guitars to stand, he'd have given them legs.

I like the Hercules stands the best. They seem to be the safest and most stable, and I like the fact that the guitar is suspended with a locking yoke. Great for instruments like the Pilot Bass that has an irregularly shaped bottom, too. They're occasionally a Stupid Deal of the Day at Musician's Friend, and you can get them for a good price.

it’s what I use. Expensive but stable. But I had a real ouch moment with one. I caught the skin between a finger somehow in the pinch points. Could not figure out how to extricate myself. Warning: Do NOT lift it up when that happens. I did.

I still managed to extricate myself. I don’t quite know how though.
