Title: Folding stand that fits in Taylor's structured gig bag: Hercules GS200B
Post by: dswo on November 14, 2024, 08:59:01 AM
In another thread I asked about another brand. It didn't look like that would fit, but I found the Hercules GS200B, which easily fits in the pocket of my 314ce's structured gig bag. It folds up compactly and neatly: it won't get tangled with a cable or strap. And it folds out in both directions, something my previous folding stand did not, which makes the whole thing more stable.

As of this writing, it's US$20 on Amazon. I'd post pics, but the forum doesn't allow uploads (which is  understandable for cost and long-term maintenance).

Herc fan here, and have been using their single and double-guit stands for yeeeaaars.  This is cool!  I've long since abandoned A-frame stands since I prefer grabbing Herc's full tripod stand with yoke as it gives me peace of mind.  But the size and price of this little guy is impressive.  I've wasted $20 on lame things in the past but this looks like a very solid backup to have in the ol' bag.  Thanks for posting. :D
Edit: also $20 on Sweetwater ...man, do I not "need" this, but when has that ever stopped me, lol?!

Congrats on the stand. I've used this one for a few years: https://www.cooperstand.com/

It fits in the headstock area of a hard case as well as soft (gig bag) pockets. Light and sturdy.

There's a knockoff from Guitto too that I've seen a few players use out in the wild. Always under $20 and now under $15 on Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Guitar-Stand-Folding-Frame/dp/B08DTH6M77
