Not suitable for a long-term use for guitars with nitrocellulose lacquer finish!
There are different ways to store your instruments: While some people swear by keeping them in a case or a gig bag, others prefer unrestricted access to the instrument. There are two options for this: Wall hangers and stands. Guitar stands like the Millenium GS2001 for electric guitars and basses are more convenient than wall hangers because they are portable and can also be placed anywhere in the room. They can also be used in the rehearsal room or on stage. Being compact and easily foldable comes in handy, especially when the stand has to be taken along on a trip.
The Millenium G2001 electric guitar stand is made of metal and designed to be durable and foldable, while staying firmly in position when unfolded. The feet are made of non-slip rubber, as is the spot against which the guitar is propped up. This prevents both the stand and the guitar from slipping. The supporting surfaces for the guitar are made of dense foam. One of the support arms is bent to provide extra stability if the guitar or bass gets accidentally knocked, while the other arm is straight to avoid getting caught on the potentiometers.
Whether you play single-cut, double-cut, semi-acoustic, ST-style, TE-style, or bass: The GS-2001 E will fit the bill. This makes the stand attractive for most guitarists who prefer to invest their money in the instrument rather than in overly expensive accessories. The guitars are nevertheless well protected thanks to the soft foam padding. There is one particular thing you have to watch out for: Guitars with nitrocellulose lacquer, such as US-made Gibson guitars, should not be placed in this stand for long periods of time, as nitrocellulose lacquer reacts to the foam and deteriorates under certain circumstances. This should not cause any problems for the duration of a performance, but storage is only recommended for guitars with other common lacquers. Users are instead advised to opt for stands with support surfaces that are either white or made from cork.
Millenium is one of Thomann’s in-house brands and has been an integral part of the store’s range since 1995.

These products are made by renowned companies who also manufacture products for other well-known brands.
