The GS7465 Professional Flip-It® A-Frame Guitar Stand features a yoke with a spring-loaded latch that closes itself around the guitar neck to prevent the guitar from being bumped off the stand. For additional security, the lower yoke is angled back to keep the guitar from tipping forward or falling. The lower yoke is also stepped, forming two sections that can securely hold the depth of an electric, acoustic, or bass guitar. Padding on the yokes protects the guitar finish while a heavy-duty A-frame base provides stability and balance for dependable guitar support. For efficient storage and transportation, the upper yoke shaft detaches and inserts between the base legs.
