The Ultimate Space-Saving Protection for High-End Collections
The König & Meyer 17515 Guardian 5 (Black with Translucent Support Elements) is widely regarded as the gold standard in multi-guitar storage. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this professional-grade rack securely holds up to five acoustic, electric, or bass guitars while taking up minimal floor space in your home, studio, or stage rig.
Sanctuary Expert Note: If your collection includes premium instruments from Gibson, Martin, Collings, or PRS that feature high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this is the exact stand you need. Standard black rubber stands contain plasticizers that can chemically react with nitro, leaving permanent, ugly scars on your guitar's finish. The translucent elastomer on this model is chemically inert, giving you absolute peace of mind.
Why the Guardian 5 Stands Alone:
- Nitro-Cellulose Safe: Colorless, non-marring support elements made of high-grade elastomer plastic prevent chemical reactions and finish bleeding.
- Integrated Pick Holders: Highly flexible, subdivided support arms feature integrated slots to keep your favorite picks exactly where you need them.
- Zero String Contact: Innovative neck brackets hold your guitars firmly by the neck profile without placing tension on or touching the strings.
- Anti-Rotation Protective Bars: Integrated dividers stop your instruments from twisting, knocking together, or experiencing accidental bumps.
- Wall-Hugging footprint: Specially designed structural engineering allows you to place this stand completely flush against a flat wall, reclaiming precious floor space.
