A specially designed yoke keeps your guitar from falling out with its integrated self-locking mechanism. When attached, the weight of the guitar activates dual rubberized guards, keeping it secured to the stand. A padded body cradle at the bottom prevents scratches by preventing any unwanted contact between instrument and metal. To set the stand at the perfect height, simply locate the locking cam lever and perform adjustments as needed. The stand also travels easily with its collapsible base, folding neck yoke and folding body cradle.
