Yeah, the green Envoy makes me want to put my baggy boxers on and parade my....happiness....around the 'hood. As does the burgandy/gold w/the trem.

A friend of mine had a severely damaged 1971 Martin 12 string D-35 he was going to throw in the trash after a large mirror fell on it, so I told him I'd take it and try to repair it. One side had extensive cracks, the back was falling off, the neck needed a reset, the soundboard was cracked and old Martins didn't have wooden side braces, just straps, that were all torn on that side.
So far, I've glued the cracks together, stabilized the side with carbon fiber, repaired the soundboard cracks, removed the neck and taken off the fretboard to replace the old neck square tube with an adjustable truss rod. Just a few hours work, lol.

Any ideas on the best multi-guitar stands? I assume some come with rollers--any other options?

Be mindful of the material touching your guitars. Certain dyes can bleed into your guitar's finish.

I got this one to hang on the wall off Amazon. It's ok and does the job. But sometimes if you're not careful when you put the guitar up it can move a little. I always double check to make sure they're straight. Other than that, it's good.

String Swing makes nitro friendly stands and hangers if you want a US based company. You can't go wrong with K&M either.

I have 2 of these and one version with a space for an acoustic. I love these because they are very sturdy and use a translucent soft plastic that feels kind of like rubber. This prevents any dye bruising on my guitars. You can buy casters for them, separately, though I've never used casters. All of mine stay where they are.

I know it's a small thing, but I also love the little pick holders all down the row of slots.

Thanks guys--looking at these now. I like the Black on Black version of this 17515.

Do you feel secure in the guitars staying in position? Any concern they could get jostled out of their slot?

I have no concern. I also don't put them on casters and jostle them around.

Never ever buying a Fender again. Even their custom shop stuff sucks.

Thinking about a single cutaway acoustic electric.

Y'all have any recommendations under $1k?
