10 Best Guitar Stands UK 2024 | Hercules, Fender and More

Due to the amazing quality of its products, Hercules has managed to take the top two spots in our ranking! Our number 1 stand is this classic free-standing option, which can be appreciated by pretty much everyone. The neck has the same auto-lock features as the other Hercules product, as well as a narrow neck adjuster that makes it safe for storing banjos and mandolins. 

Unlike other racks, this one's mechanism uses a locking pin to make it extra-safe, although it's still easy to use. The height is also adjustable, which is always handy! It's well worth forking out for this solid stand that ensures the ultimate protection for your gear.

Hercules is known for producing no-nonsense gear, hence why their wall hangers are super popular. This particular hanger has a couple of design features that make it stand out from the crowd, such as the auto swivel yokes, which allow for different headstocks to fit comfortably on the stand without any alterations being needed. 

Moreover, a locking feature is included within the yokes, which will keep the guitar securely in place - even if someone accidentally knocks into it after a long session in the studio. Simple, straightforward, and incredibly reliable, this is a firm favourite of many musicians!

If you're looking for a stand that can hold plenty of equipment, this five-way rack from D4P is a brilliant economical option. The design allows it to hold everything from electric basses to classical acoustics. Not only that, but it uses robust rubber padding too for maximum protection. 

Of course, this stand is going to require more floor space than the other options on our list, so you'll want to make sure you space is large enough. That being said, if you have a home studio that you use regularly, then this rack will save you the hassle of fishing different guitars out of their cases every time you want to use a specific one. 

You can always rely on Fender to produce top-quality goods that are great value for money - thankfully, this applies to their accessories as well. While this stand is simple and inexpensive, it features foam-padded yokes that will protect your instrument from scratches and bumps.

Planet Waves has produced a brilliant little hanging stand here, which they've affectionately named the "Guitar Dock". The design is compact, easy to use, and has an adjustable clamp. Moreover, thanks to the 360-degree rotation, it can be mounted at any angle - pretty convenient, right?

Additionally, the company has opted for rubber protection to keep your gear safe. We also love the little cut-out in the back of the design, which provides a place to store guitar accessories that are easily lost. We're thinking of you, picks! 

While some multiple instrument racks look like they couldn't stand up to a strong breeze, that's not the case with the K&M Guardian. It can hold up to five guitars and looks capable of surviving a tornado and tsunami at the same time! We also like the use of non-marring plastic, which not only protects your instruments but will be unlikely to wear down any time soon. 

Although this stand looks bulky, it's around the average size of a five-way rack in terms of dimensions. Best of all, the way the spaces have been designed means that the rack can hold a wide range of guitars, no matter their shape or size. 

If you're the owner of an unorthodox shape guitar (think Fender Jazzmaster, Gibson Explorer, or Mosrite), finding a stand that fits its contours can be difficult. Thankfully, the folks at Gear4music considered you when building this A-stand!

The yokes and the tip of the A are fully adjustable so that they can accommodate unconventional styles without fuss. This might not be a stand for the traditionalists, but it's perfect for offset-loving players. 

Many people want a stand to keep their equipment safe that's easily accessible. If this is the case (pun intended), then this wall hanging stand probably won't be for you, as it's primarily designed for displaying guitars. 

It's built using the same reliably robust material as traditional Fender hard cases, ensuring durability no matter what. The design comes with the classic Fender tweed finish and a luxuriously soft plush interior. Just check which models the case will fit as it is quite an expensive option!

This five-space guitar rack is collapsible and quick to set up, so it pretty much guarantees that you can have any type of guitar or bass handy whenever you need it. This makes it ideal not only for collectors and those running a studio but also for travelling musicians.

RockGear uses foam protection to safeguard against scratches or scrapes on the instrument, plus there are rubber feet on the legs to keep it from slipping around on the ground. Our only concern is that the design is a little lightweight considering the price, but it should still be fairly sturdy.  

The final option in our ranking is a three-pack of hanging stands. These all come with sponge-covered yokes, screws, and wall anchors. Plus, they can hold instruments up to 19 kg.

Furthermore, the yokes are rotatable, which allows you to store instruments with more unique headstocks, such as ukeleles and banjos. The only downside is that the anchors aren't naturally black and are instead painted, which means they could flake over time if not looked after properly.
