Ok, I was looking for a stand to hold my mandolin, but after reading some reviews, I found it doubtful that this stand would work. Then again mine is not your average mandolin thank to Dillon musical instruments. But seeing it was the only performance stand I could find that wasn't specifically made for acoustic guitars, I decided to take the 350+ dollar risk and ordered it. After all, I could always use it for one of my electric guitars.Well let me tell you... this stand is just what the doctor ordered. No more switching from one instrument to another during the middle of a song. Now I just walk up to the mandolin and play it's part and back up a couple steps to play leads on the guitar. All without switching instruments and fumbling to get it back on a stand. Not to mention, getting the other strapped on before a solo.Keep in mind I have not stage or road tested it yet, but from the quality, I believe this stand will work out just fine for many years.As for the stand itself.. it's light weigh, but sturdy, folds up as compact as any cymbal stand, looks good in basic black and has plenty of adjustments for getting that perfect hight and angle for comfortable playing.I would say if you're looking for the perfect performance stand and have $350 to spend on a guitar stand, this would be what I recommend. Also the manufacturer has addressed the issue with the input jack, mentioned in earlier reviews. It now has a cutout that should address the issue for most brands of guitars. I'll include a picture. All and all, I am pleased with my purchase.
