GS414B + Acoustic Guitar Stand Plus

Hercules is a great brand in terms of guitar stands and wall hangers. I really like the quality of this stand. It is extremely sturdy and the holder is very secure. I have used this brand for over 10 years and I have never had any issues with the quality of a Hercules product or damage to any of the finishes of my guitars (Nitro or Poly). I highly recommend this stand. The size and adjustable height allows for a diverse range of instruments and I feel the overall value regarding price is well worth it.

These Hercules GS414BPLUS Auto Grip System guitar stands are simply outstanding. The build quality is rock solid, and the auto-grip mechanism works flawlessly — the guitar locks in securely the moment you place it on the stand. I keep two of these either side of my TV, and I trust them completely. They’re stable, solid, and inspire real confidence when holding valuable instruments. There’s a reason you see Hercules stands everywhere — they’re genuinely fantastic. If you value your guitars and want a stand you never have to worry about, this is absolutely the one to get. Nothing else comes close.

With small kids in the house, my biggest concern with standard guitar stands is that they'll knock the guitar out of the stand. This stand holds the guitar securely by the headstock such that I know they're not going to knock it over sideways with their strumming, and the feet are positioned such that it would be difficult to accidentally knock it over forward - you'd really have to try. It's expensive compared to a basic stand, but the added protection it offers is worth it - the stand is much cheaper than repairing a damaged guitar. Putting the guitar in and out is effortlessly easy - you just grab the neck and pick it up or set it down, and the stand grips and releases as it should. I don't know why the description says "Acoustic" as this works just fine with electric, and in fact I have mine set such that I can use it with either my guitar or my bass. This is the upgraded model of the standard Hecrules GS414B stand, with support for narrower necked instruments, a more robust height adjustment mechanism, and larger and more stable feet. Thus far, it hasn't had any of the issues that plagued some of the original 414 stands. I like this stand so much that I bought a second one.

I’ve had several different Hercules guitar stands. Started with the triple tree, which I still have. That one is very robust. I got a single guitar model a number of years ago which broke at the collar for the auto lock mechanism at the top of the stand. This happened way too easily the stand was hardly used and not gigged. To the manufacturer’s credit they replaced it under warranty with the same stand. That one also broke in the same spot when I was trying to collapse it. I decided to give Hercules another chance after trying another brand with a similar design that I ended up not liking. Glad I went back to Hercules, they redesigned the weak area of the stand and I’d say it should handle normal wear and tear much better than the old design. Definitely like how the stand operates and should allow flexibility for most instruments, they include spacers should you have an instrument that has a very narrow neck. Overall I’m happy with the purchase

I've had a GS415 stand since around 2010 & it's still working well! Basically, the same as the 414 except for the yoke (no joke 🙄). I have 5 acoustics over $1,000 & quite a few electrics too. I have never had any problems using these Hercules stands & really appreciate the ease with placing & removing the guitars. I have 3 guitar stands now, 2 Hercules & 1 Fender. The Hercules stands are well worth the money & are built to last a lifetime. An excellent purchase!

I bought this in 2025 when it cost $50. It is a great, strong, sturdy stand, far better than any of the others (1 $20 wal mount that broke after a month, 1 padded wire base) i hve used. I think $50 might be a bit high, (35-45 being more reasonable) but it is serv ing me well. no signs of weakening. Also, the guard jaw is very secure and responsive.

This is my fourth Hercules 414B guitar stand. This one is the latest “Plus” version that sports a slightly wider yoke and replaceable yoke bands that reduce the yoke size for smaller neck instruments. I believe the rubber feet are slightly modified for additional stability although I always thought stability was the 414’s trademark and these feet certainly keep the stand in the stability nobility haha. Additionally, I noticed the height adjustment mechanism is upgraded and has a reallly nice positive feel. Overall I feel the company has done a nice job with this stand with very high quality standards. Also, It is by far the easiest to use and IMO, has the best stability in the single mobile guitar stand market. Additionally, I can say that over the past 15 years, I’ve never had a problem with the materials affecting the finish on my guitars. I would suggest that you can by this stand with confidence that it will protect your guitars and will be a ‘rock’ for 10 years plus.

The price is a bit higher than others but the quality is better. This is very versatile because it will fit a lot of different instruments and it folds up for travel. This stand works great for our band. So far we've had no issues fitting either electric or acoustic guitars. This just works.
