Default Where can I get a guitar stand for 3 guitars?

I've got a lovely Warwick for 5, but only 3 guitars to put in it... WArwick seem to have stopped doing their 3-guitar number, I can find loads of tripod ones, which I don't fancy, and this:



Which seems a bit bulky, and this:



Which is the business biut aieee! More than my favourite guitar cost.

Any other options? PS, 5 guitar rack for sale

Try strings direct.

I get most of my stuff from them, prices are pretty much unbeatable for the usual stuff, strings, picks etc. Not sure how much stands are going for these days but they have them.

Yep. Strings direct are very good, fast delivery etc, used them quite a bit. I've got the 5-way stand. Does the job g'uv.

A Warwick Rockbass Steamer 4-string (Warwick's cheapo brand, but it's the ltd ed with the Warwick pickups and active electrics)

An old silver series Squier Tele with Seymour Duncans and Fender electronics in it (Hot Rails and a Quarter Pounder currently, but I don't really like the QP) Lovely guitar, cost me £60 but I reckon that with the pickups in, it's better than any modern US Fender I've played. Plus, it's absolutely battered, as Teles should be. I'm thinking I might do a string-through conversion on it, the treble side needs fat strings or it's just a little too thin...

And a couple of oddities... 2 Fender Hot Rod Reissue Strats, a 50s and a 60s model. These are early 90s Japanese floyd-rose equipped fat strats, they're from the limited runs made with USA and japanese parts at Fujigen. One is fairly standard, bar new electrics (all the electrics on those early jap ones are rubbish) and a couple of Dimarzio single coils (the humbucker is a Dimarzio Super 3 from stock) It's Candy Apple and rosewood with white plastics. And I'm going to have to sell it Don't play it enough any more.

These are really uncommon, they come up on Ebay sometimes but the easiest way to see one is to go and see Bon Jovi, or Iron Maiden, or Sepultura The Sambora and Iron Maiden signature strats are both based on the same model, and one of the twenty or so guitarists in Maiden uses one for his main live guitars.

They're also pretty cheap, usually This one was absolutely mint when I got it, unplayable because of a bad truss rod but otherwise flawless, still had the plastic on the scratchplate! £150 for a 15-year-old brand new guitar It'd been sat in a storeroom in Denmark Street for all that time since it was knackered when it arrived from Japan, but it wasn't a legal import so they couldn't return it. But it was a pretty easy fix so I snapped it up.

The other one was an absolute heap when I got it, cost me £100 which was waaaay too much. Needed totally rebuilt from the timbers up basically, and it's still not finished. I've converted it to double fat, with a Duncan Distortion and '59 in, and it's really nice, but it's cost a fortune to bring it up to scratch- totally new floyd rose even. It's got more switches than the national grid too, though they;re not all wired in yet. I'd kind of like to sell it too and just keep the bass and the Tele, but really I'd not get half of what it's cost me back, so I'm keeping it. I could break it for parts, but that'd be so depressing.

Also got about 2/3 of a Squier Stagemaster under the bed, that got cannibalised for pickups a while back... Anyone want a Squier with no pickups? Needs a new plate too. And a Jim Deacon ST-1 that I wouldn't use for firewood, which is in bits in the corner and needs to go in the bin, if I just had the heart.

Sorry, banging on a bit... I do like messing with guitars. Can't play the things
