khs america reported that Hercules Stands has launched the GS412BSW Auto-Grip Guitar Stand, an updated model aimed at providing enhanced stability and protection for a wider variety of instruments. The manufacturer states the new stand accommodates neck sizes from 40 to 52 mm, making it compatible with most classical, acoustic, electric, and bass guitars.
The product features an innovative Auto-Swivel Yoke that automatically rotates to fit different headstock shapes, including asymmetrical and left-handed designs. Hercules claims this mechanism, combined with its signature Auto Grip System, secures instruments effectively. Additionally, the included N.I.N.A adjustment expands compatibility to narrow-neck instruments like banjos and mandolins.
A redesigned folding back rest offers multi-angle adjustment to support offset, unconventional, and hollow body styles. The stand supports instruments weighing up to 33 lbs and measures between 33.7 and 42.3 inches in height. Hercules notes the unit weighs just 3.2 lbs and folds compactly for transport. The company describes the design as a solution inspired by musicians globally, guiding their development, manufacturing, and worldwide distribution efforts.
