Guitar Stands

A good guitar stand does more than hold an instrument—it protects it, preserves its finish, and keeps it ready to play. At Chicago Music Exchange, we carry a wide range of stands designed to suit every player’s needs, from compact home setups to professional studios and touring stages.

Whether you’re searching for a minimalist stand for a small apartment, a rack for a growing collection, or a premium system built for maximum protection, CME offers a stand tailored to every guitarist’s lifestyle.

Types of Guitar Stands

A-Frame Stands

Simple, sturdy, and compact, A-frame stands are a go-to option for players who value portability. Their foldable design makes them easy to tuck into a gig bag or store in a small space, while still providing reliable support for both acoustic and electric guitars.

Tripod Stands

The classic style most players recognize, tripod stands offer adjustable neck cradles and a wide, stable base. They work well with a variety of guitar shapes and sizes, making them a versatile choice for home studios, practice rooms, or stage setups where dependability matters.

Wall-Mounted Hangers

Wall hangers keep instruments safely off the floor while turning them into part of the room’s design. Ideal for saving space and showcasing a guitar as a centerpiece, they’re best installed with secure mounting hardware to ensure both the wall and the instrument remain protected.

Instrument Racks

For musicians juggling multiple guitars, instrument racks provide a practical and space-efficient solution. Foldable designs make them easy to move or store when not in use, while sturdy frames keep several instruments secure and accessible in one place—perfect for studios, stages, or collections.

Guitar Stand Brands

Finding the best guitar stand is essential—because a guitar left in its case is less likely to be played. At Chicago Music Exchange, we understand the importance of displaying and storing guitars securely and stylishly, which is why we carry top brands like Gator, Fender, String Swing, ON‑Stage, Hercules, Cooperstand, K&M, Hamilton, and Zither. If you're on the hunt for guitar stand, our expertly curated selection ensures you’ll find the perfect match for your guitar’s needs—and your style preferences.

Guitar Stand Materials

At CME, guitar stands come in a variety of materials, each with its own character and purpose. Wooden stands, such as those from Cooperstand or Zither, bring a timeless aesthetic and a softer touch—well-suited for vintage instruments or collector pieces with delicate finishes. Metal stands, whether in A-frame, tripod, or rack form, offer durability and stability, making them a practical choice for everyday use in studios, rehearsal spaces, or on stage. Many modern designs also incorporate protective foams, padding, or rubberized contact points to safeguard against scratches while keeping the guitar firmly in place. For players who prioritize security, advanced models with auto-grip or locking mechanisms—like those from Hercules or Gator—add another layer of assurance, particularly for heavier instruments or shared environments where stability is paramount. Ultimately, the right material balances aesthetics, protection, and convenience, matching the stand to both the guitar and the setting.
