K&M 17515 Guardian 5 Guitar Stand - Standard Black

The Heavy-Duty, Stealth Multi-Guitar Workhorse

The König & Meyer 17515 Guardian 5 in Standard Black offers absolute stability, premium German engineering, and a sleek, low-profile aesthetic. Built to hold up to five acoustic, electric, or bass guitars, this robust rack is perfect for the stage, studio, or music room where security and quick-access organization are paramount.

Sanctuary Expert Note: If your lineup consists of modern electrics and acoustics finished in durable polyurethane or polyester (such as most modern Ibanez, ESP, Taylor, or Fender Player models), the Standard Black Guardian 5 is an exceptional choice. It looks incredibly sleek on stage, and the high-grade elastomer padding absorbs physical shocks effortlessly. Note: For vintage or high-end custom shop nitrocellulose finishes, we recommend the Translucent version of this stand.

Designed for Seamless Workflow and Maximum Security:

• Stealth Aesthetics: Deep black support elements offer a clean, professional look that blends perfectly into darkened stages or high-end studio spaces.
• Cushioned Protection: High-quality thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) pads cushion the body and neck joints, absorbing bumps and protecting against scratches.
• Anti-Rotation Dividers: Protective side bars prevent instruments from rotating, sliding, or knocking into one another when reaching for a swap mid-set.
• Built-In Pick Storage: Divided support arms let you slide your guitars in from either side without touching the strings, with convenient pick slots built right into the neck bracket.
• Patented Folding Design: The innovative folding mechanism allows the stand to fold completely flat for easy transport, or lock firmly upright.
