Anyone use a frame stands? Are they sturdy/reliable? I like the concept and space saving but I also have an anxiety attack every time I look at one
I had one of these K&M stands like 8 years ago, and they definitely affected my Les Paul. Put dark yellow streaks on the bottom of the guitar where the contact points touched it. You could even see it on the face of the guitar, because of the white binding.I absolutely love these:

Apparently not suitable for nitro laquer (which I don't think is true, but these are the words of K&M), but you could modifiy the padding.
I watched my singer's thinline acoustic fall over forward on one of these, last weekendI absolutely love these:

As compact as it gets, pretty much no wearing out parts, super light, fitting into any gigbag. Apparently not suitable for nitro laquer (which I don't think is true, but these are the words of K&M), but you could modifiy the padding. Also no ways for any cables to slip under and cause havoc.
Will never use any others ever again.

And that sucks big time… I had a band where the bass player was the lead singer. Put his Alembic into the stand, turned around as the neck bounced off the rest and fell forward, snapping it in half.
True, I mean, I imagine MOST of guitar safety is keeping them in a place where people can't get to them, and she leaves hers, with the cable plugged in, right in the middle of the stage, right in the path of the band/soundmen walking by itSure, non of those A-shaped stands protects much (if at all) against forward movements. But I always place my guitars so they can't be approached from the back anyway.
These are driving me mad as all guitar cables are born with the irrepressible will to always hug any free metal poles, regardless of their shape.I have a Gator Frameworks one that I keep next to my desk. It’s perfect if you’re constantly picking up and putting down your guitar while tracking, although it’s not something I’d keep my guitar on for long periods of time.

That and the strap always seems to glue itself to them.These are driving me mad as all guitar cables are born with the irrepressible will to always hug any free metal poles, regardless of their shape.

FWIW I've often kept nitro guitars in various run of the mill cheap single guitar stands and never had an issue, but after hearing about some things recently I've gotten paranoid
I suppose I can still just get a standard 5 guitar stand and throw some shirts and socks on it, but that doesn't sound [particularly aesthetically pleasing
I use multiple guitars, and like to have them out at all times. That is what I have done.
I'd rather have them all together, than have 3 or 4 different (smaller) stands taking up even more
floor space.
