1. Spinable quad guitar stand vs others:
Holds one to four guitars or electric basses. Spins for easy access to instruments and accessories Space saving design fits nicely, even in corners Is sturdy and well balanced Safely holds guitars and basses so they cannot be knocked over. Two position adjustable height to accommodate longer bodied guitars and basses. Supports instruments by headstock instead of bottom of body as most, preventing the instrument from tipping over and falling on the floor, if bumped. Has two tables for easy access to picks, strings, tuners, cords, etc. Top table has two drilled holes for inserting the end of musicians guitar cords for easy plug and play ability. This is an additional benefit for musicians who switch instruments during performances, as cord is easily accessible. Top table is designed with concave top which holds and prevents tuners, strings, keys, phones, etc from vibrating off the stand table and falling to the floor. As a professional musician, I require a sturdy guitar stand which is able to safely accommodate up to four guitars, and will not tip or tumble when bumped, during stage performances. I need to be able to access any of my multiple guitars without tripping over the stand, or having the guitars get hung up on stand apparatus. I also want to be able to easily access tuners, picks, cords, extra strings, winders, etc. I am a fender certified luthier and repair technician. I handcraft my own design of bass and guitar. I require display/storage stands for these items which will not take up a lot of floor space. I was not able to find any stands on the market suitable for my needs. Taking these things into consideration, I designed and crafted this spinable guitar stand which satisfies my needs in all arenas. I built the first spinable guitar stand on May 1, 2012, and began using it. On Jun. 12, 2012, I drew up the plan layout and sent the drawings to myself via USPS for protection. (Included in drawings). Within a few months I was able to perfect the stand and now I have time to patent and begin the process of making the stand available to the general public. I invented this spinable guitar stand to display and protect multiple instruments in a confined amount of space. The spinable guitar stand holds one to four guitars. The owner can spin the stand to easily access any of the guitars mounted and any objects stored on tables. This stand is beneficial for storing guitars and basses in confined spaces in homes, music studios, on stage, and in stores for display. The stand is well balanced so it will not tip when removing any of the instruments. I included tables on the stand and designed them to hold securely, any items which would be needed for performances, repairs, etc. The prototype pictured was made from building items I have on hand including wood, steel pipe, and protective coverings. During research and development for the manufacturing process I expect variables in the materials used to complete the retail product. Including plastics, colors, textures, protective coverings, etc. These things will be considered at point of manufacture. The height, shape, design, and purpose will remain the same. Variables will not affect the design and usability of the product. |
