Not suitable for long-term use with guitars with nitrocellulose lacquer
There are multiple ways to store musical instruments, with some musicians preferring to keep them in cases or gig bags, while others opt for easy access using either wall hangers or stands. Guitar stands, like the Millenium GS-2000, provide the flexibility to be placed anywhere in the room, unlike wall hangers, and can also be used in rehearsal rooms or on stage. This model is designed for domestic use but can be easily transported by folding in the feet, retracting the neck, and removing the bottom support. The Millenium GS-2000 is suitable for both acoustic and electric guitars and basses.
The Millenium GS-2000 guitar stand is made of metal and height-adjustable to accommodate smaller guitars or larger ukuleles, though it is typically used at full extension. The non-slip rubber feet of the Millenium GS-2000 prevent slipping, while dense foam padding on the bottom and neck supports protects the instrument. Once placed in the stand, the rubber fastener on the neck support can be hooked shut for added stability, while the freely rotatable support ensures secure placement of offset instruments like the Fender Jazzmaster or Harley Benton JB-75.
The Millenium GS-2000 is compatible with a variety of instruments, including classical guitars, acoustic guitars, electric guitars (both regular and offset), and basses, making it perfect for most guitarists and bassists who prefer investing in their instruments rather than expensive accessories. The soft foam padding effectively protects the instruments, though there is one thing to note: Guitars with nitrocellulose lacquer, such as US-made Gibsons, should not be left in the stand for extended periods, as the lacquer may react with the foam and damage the finish. This should not be an issue during a gig, but for storage, it is best to use this stand for instruments with other types of lacquer. Players with nitrocellulose lacquer guitars should consider stands with white or cork surfaces. The support where the instrument rests can be flipped over when assembling and dismantling the stand, allowing it to fit through the frame's opening.
Millenium is one of Thomann's in-house brands and has been an integral part of the store’s range since 1995. More than 800 products – from drums and percussion through to accessories such as microphone stands, racks, and recording workstations – bear the Millenium label. These products are made by renowned companies who also manufacture products for other well-known brands. Since they are imported directly from the factory without any further distributors or sales companies, they can be sold at particularly attractive prices. Incidentally, one in every four Thomann customers has already purchased at least one Millenium product.
