I'm looking for information on guitar stands for a projectI'm looking for anything from the type of materials used, to how it's assembled, to who first made itAny idea where I can get this info, or does anyone know?
I don't know where you would find info on who invented it unless the patent website has some detailsMaterials are pretty variedThe cheap ones you see the most are aluminum tubing with some foam or plastic covers to protect the instrumentI've seen some made of wood and some of plasticThere's even a real cool stand that doubles as a guitar caseGo to one of the big music stores online (musician's friend, or music123 are good ones) adn see what they haveYou can also make a trip to a bigger store like Guitar CenterThey usually have several different kinds in stock.
You can get boards and boxes at a cake and candy store or places that sell crafts like Michaels, Pat Catan's, JoAnn's and even Wal-mart.
