I adore music and have a number of instruments in my house. My electric guitar used to be hidden in its case and place out of the way. However, my brother bought a Stagg SG-A108BK Acoustic/Electric Guitar Stand and it was perfect to show off his pride and joy. I was starting to create a music room and thought to copy him to add a bit of style to the room and show off the guitar.

The Stagg stands alone with two legs crossing together to support a guitar above the ground. Two metal hooks keep the guitar in a upright position and provide a great display. The metal hooks/arms are covered in a soft foam. This foam is ideal as it protects the guitar from scratches and wear. The entire frame is made of metal that is sturdy and difficult to knock over by accident. What is great is that the top part is hinged to allow you to fold the legs together making the stand easy to store away. Four little rubber stoppers sit on the legs. These a very handy as they prevent the stand from sliding and stop any scratching from the metal frame on the floor.

I found the Stag stand at my local music shop (Ape Music) for a reasonable price of £16.99 that seemed good value to me. Having looked online you can get it cheaper down to £8.99.

For the year I have had the Stagg I have never had a problem. It props my guitar on the display and makes it so easy to have a quick strum. It allows me to provide a constant music to my developing room. £16.99 for me was a great price, but when it is even cheaper online I can't find any excuse not to buy this.
