What the heck do you call these type of stands that you can mount the guitar to play on the stand? I'm not having much luck with a web search. Found one thing on ebay that looks like it, (made by Grady?) but no google returns on that name as a manufacturer.

AHA! Walkup! That's the deal....& I shoulda guessed Gracie with the IE instead of Y.

If I can get one that'll handle both acoustic & electric I would probably make use out of it both ways.

Don -

When I saw your post, I remembered seeing the Gracie stands on the clearance page at MF - and when I checked there I saw they didn't carry them any longer.

Elderly sells them - but for much more $$$ than MF did (like twice as much). Could've used one of those in my bass-playing days to save my back :)

Nope. Just 'cause I do a number of songs that would benefit from me being able to have both acoustic & electric in hand, & I don't have another guitar player to cover one or the other.

Maybe you should get the double-neck Crossroads and play it the way I play my doubleneck epi :)

Persistence & patience pays off! Found only 2 brands making a good walkup stand that is readily available. M-Brace & Gracie. Found a place online selling the first for about $50. I emailed for a shipping quote & they never responded.

Called GC the other day to ask & the kid on the phone paused when I asked about a "walk-up" stand. After a moment of silence he said, "hey I'm with a customer, can I call you back?" Funny that the amount of time it took for him to call back was just long enough to look up what I was talking about, but no, they didn't stock anything like that. Special order only.

Today I'm running errands & stop into another local store & ask. Just so happens they had found one that had been sitting in the attic for years & had just brought it down to the acoustic room, still dust covered. "This isn't an inventoried item, so it's cash only" says the guy. $50 later, I'm having a decent afternoon. It's a Gracie BTW. Like this one at Elderly

I'll be giving it a try on stage this weekend.

Don.

Ya should have got one with the "Sit-Down", optional extra fittings, then you could play your geetar sitting on stage on that mobile-commode-geezer chair-thingy that you have !

Don't think a commode stool would go over to well in this venue.

Anyway, I put it to the test & it really worked great! Painful performance though....I threw my back out yesterday afternoon & moving isn't the easiest thing in the world right now. :cry:
