Well, since everyone seems to be beavering away creating Stratocasters or other wierd and wonderful stringed instruments (MarkR), I thought I'd create something useful to actually show them off properly once complete.

Therefore, the guitar stand has now been uploaded to the Models section. You can find it under the Furniture heading (it seemed the closest one), or go straight to it here:

Hmmm.. It's cool but it wouln't fit all guitars .
The it looks like it'll fit an acoustic guitar and not an electric.

The actual (real) stand's lower cradle is actually a separate piece that swings to comfortably cradle pretty much any shape (hey it used to have my Strat on it), although I've only modelled it as a single piece. The upper cradle moves up and down to accommodate any length of neck from a mandolin to a Bass guitar.

Since the stand is sloped, it doesn't need to actually hug the instrument. It's simply there to keep the instrument from falling over.

It's just that that kind of stand is usually used for acoustic guitars, but for electric they usually use smaller ones.

But thanks for sharing!

Hey that's cool, you don't want to go laying a nice Strat around on the ground. That's abuse.

Hey Mark, great guitar stand.. Im gonna be sure to use it when my strat is done thanks.

Thanks guys. There's one thing I've noticed about the stand I uploaded and that's not all polys have been subpatched. As soon as I hear from Kevin how I can get an updated Zip file up there, you'll have to remember to check it. (I'll update the version no. when the new file goes up).

Cheers,
Mark.
