US 2011/0253655 A1 · Combination Guitar and Amplifier Stand

Abstract

A combination guitar and amplifier stand has the ability to hold two guitars (two electric guitars, two bass guitars, two acoustic guitars or any combination thereof) and a single 1×12 or 2×12 combination solid state or tube amplifier. The stand has been designed to hold a single piece of equipment without tipping over. The guitar holders (located at the top right and left of the stand) allow the user to place their guitars in the holders when not in use. The bottom of the guitar's headstock will rest in the padded holders (no additional hardware or accessories are needed to secure the guitar) and the body of the guitar will rest against a padded bar located on the right and left hand side of the rack near the bottom. The amplifier is placed in the rack, located in the middle of the stand (no additional hardware or accessories are needed to secure the unit) and the rack can be adjusted so that the amplifier rack can rest at either a 0° or a 45° angle. It also comes with a storage box (located at the bottom of the stand, under the amplifier rack) that can hold various accessories such as foot pedals, cables, power chords, tools and cleaning equipment. A UPS power strip is located on the face of one of the legs of the stand, which will help the user organize their power chords and minimize their lengths. The stand has been designed to be versatile. The guitar holders can be removed without the use of any tools and other accessories, such as a guitar table or a music stand can be inserted in their place. The guitar table will allow the user to perform period maintenance or adjustments on their guitars and the music stand will hold the user's books, notebooks and sheet music.
