Millenium GS-2012

Unfortunately, Millenium missed the mark with this one. The stand is of very poor quality. Composed of all plastic, the stand is wobbly, and difficult to place your guitar on. I bought it for gigs but I couldn't trust my guitars on this stand even at home. The only real pro this stand has going for it is it's portability or form factor. It's super light, folds up very nicely and is great to bring along with you wherever you're going, but it just doesn't hold your guitar very well, which defeats the purpose of it being a guitar stand I guess. Although it might be against your preferences for a giggable guitar stand, I do highly recommend buying something made of steel or metal to host your guitars on during gigs. I feel like a gust of wind would blow this over. You can even see how hollow the insides are. It's just cheap plastic. Shipping and delivery were great though. Fast, prompt and well packaged, with tracking information provided by email. Thomann appear to be very reliable and although this particular stand isn't their best offering, I can vouch for Thomann as a company and service.

Poor stand Millenium but good job Thomann!

This stand folds up fairly compact and is very lightweight. Thus endeth the positives.

It's quite flimsy and twisty for a guitar stand and, because it's so lightweight, it over-balances very easily, meaning your delicate and precious guitar is much more likely to hit the ground than with most other guitar stands I've used. I eventually gave mine away, as simply having it around my studio made the possibility of a damaged instrument more likely.

I'd recommend the Millenium GS-2005 over this any day, as it's also lightweight and compact, but is quite a bit more stable. I use it in my studio all the time for clients to put their guitars on, and it's fine for light duties.

If you want a REAL guitar stand that folds up, go for the Hercules Stands GS401B. Although relatively heavy, the Hercules stand is extremely high quality, quite compact and very, very stable.
