Video of the Day. Put together the base sides and guitar rests. Mount the guitar rests at 45-degree angles. Align the top corners of the rests with the top corners of the base sides so they angle downward toward the middle of the stand. Measure and mark the placement of the screws and drill pilot holes for them. D and A Hydra Gravity Activated Locking Head Triple Guitar Stand.

My brother asked me to make a guitar stand for all 10 of his guitars. It holds 8 electric guitars and 2 acoustic guitars. It is constructed of 3/4 oak veneer plywood that has been edge banded and stained with chestnut colouring. It uses pocket hole construction and 1/4 sticky back foam for the bumper padding.Visit my website (listed below) for a free set of plans.Buy a T-shirt to support the channel:Visit my website for free plans and see viewer builds:Follow me on Instagram:Follow me on Facebook:Support DIY Builds on Patreon.
The idea is pretty straight forward, as you can see in the pic. The dimensions are standard, 36' long, 16' deep and 28' high, the hight of the horizontal bar (for support of the neck) is around 26' from the top of the piece @ the bottom, and the distance between the two bottom pieces (where the body of the guitar goes) is around 12'. You can try with the guitars to get a better configuration. I use 3 pieces of 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' by 36' for the bottom pieces and the horizontal top. 2 pieces 1/2' x 1 1/2' by 28' for the Vertical sides and some 2 planks of 1/4' x 2 1/2' x 16'.
All salvaged from some ikea bed that i found in the street. The screws (8) are Allen Screws for wood ( the ones that came with bed, the Ikea ones), but some drywalls can do it too.
For the pieces that hold the guitars in place (or separators) I use wine corks and some drywall screws. Hi, I'd been thinking about making a guitar rack for a while. It seemed sensible to make a free-standing unit rather than a wall hanging one (my guitars would take up a lot of wall space if hung with their backs to the wall, and I'm not sure my landlord would want me drilling holes in the walls!) Here are some pictures of the rack I made, which was inspired by this design, and some other designs on instructables. I happened to have the base wood already, so I screwed some wooden planks on the sides to hold the rail (a wooden broom handle). I covered all the surfaces which the guitars touch in foam heating pipe insulation (using pva to stick it to the wood). Then I screwed on some corks to rest the guitar necks against so they don't fall over.
The project's not finished as I ran out of corks. Time to drink some more wine! It was hard to screw the corks into the circular broom handle straight, so I might have a think about another way to stop the guitars falling over. I made this yesterday! I totally nicked your idea!!
It holds my 7 guitars- i'm not letting myself buy any more! I added centre supports so the wood doesn't 'belly' under the weight. I didn't use corks- i used a wooden broom shank which i cut up into 8 pieces - i was planning to cover the pegs with foam/ or perhaps felt but i think i wont bother now. My smallest guitar is a 1/2 sized and i also have 3/4 and 4/4 so the height and width was worked out so the stand would hold them all. I'm really happy with the end result!
