Deluxe 34 stands by our fellow forumite Mark Roeder are the best stands out there, in my opinion and in the opinions of many others here.

Totally agree. I've had mine for several years, and IMO it's the only way to go. I've ordered different brackets from Mark when the need arose, and he's a pleasure to deal with.

For a smaller footprint, I have used a keyboard stand similar to this. I’m tall so I just plopped my case on the stand and set the guitar on top of the case, secured with Velcro.

Depends on how you are going to use it.
Do you want one that is easily collapsible and can be transported
easily and then set up again or will it be semi-permanent and used in one or two locations.

I use the keyboard stand below made by Neewer for $60.
It stays mostly in my music room but it does fold up and travel once in a while for playing elsewhere.
I've covered a piece of wood with rubber shelf lining and lay it on top to protect the guitar
although it does have protective rubber strips already installed.
The legs are also adjustable for height.

For a mere $60 it is extremely sturdy and very handy.

I have stuff.
I try to make music with it.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't.
But I keep on trying.

Loyal,

I responded to your email with what hopefully are answers that you need.
I'm not sure how the emails work within the forum so...........

Have a good day,
Larry

Deluxe 34, no question. I have one stand with 3 sets of inserts for Rick Bakelite, Frypan, and my custom made Bob Moore Dobro

I haven't seen the Deluxe 34 stand myself, except pics, but compared to my 40s stand, it has to be the way to go ! 8)
