Guitar Stand

[Shox Dr]

Looks great and the style / finish really matches the body.

One minor observation I reckon that clamp will mark or gouge the headstock in time ... I wonder if you can cut a nice piece of rubber or foam to soften it. That said you might like the odd mark developing as they all tell a story .... like the chunk out the neck on my strat when my 4 year old launched himself into one of my speakers and sent off a chain reaction !!

Edit actually on closer look you might have something on there already ?

Thank you. Like everything I build its never really finished I blame Darwin.

I totally agree with the marking of the neck, currently it has some shrink wrap offering a little protection while I decide if it needs a bit of rubber, leather etc to give a little more padding. The length of the tines needs addressing as well.

It sits well in the cup on top of the Bass Clef, so there is little weight from the Bass hanging, just enough to give the wire a bit more tension

Nicely done, now you need a guitar to hang on it, not that practice thing that only has four strings.

What about some heatshrink tubing of the right size, i did that on a cooking pot handle i made for mother!
if you get a good size match it can look quite decent and protect the neck nicely
