Hamilton Announces New Guitar Racks

3- and 5-place guitar racks are among the new offerings.

Fairfax, CA (July 23, 2015) -- The racks are designed to be extremely versatile and portable while securely and gently cradling the instruments. A 3-place rack at 23 inches wide and a 5-place rack at 37 inches wide have two padded rails at the bottom to cradle the instrument bodies and a single rail across the top with 3 or 5 rubber “hands” that act as neck rests. These hands may be moved to accommodate instruments of varying body depths.

The steel racks fold up quickly and easily for transport and storage. All points of contact with the resting instruments are covered in finish-safe rubber composites and the side rails are also covered in the same padded material to prevent dings or scratches from aggressive instrument exchanges. The steel is finished in “stage-friendly” black.

Hamilton Releases New Guitar Stands

The KB420G Double Guitar Stand and KB430G Triple Guitar Stand are designed as traditional cradle-rest stands.

Hamilton, OH (July 7, 2015) -- The KB420G Double Guitar Stand and KB430G Triple Guitar Stand are designed as traditional cradle-rest stands – guitar body rests on a large yoke at the base while the neck leans into a smaller yoke at the top. Thanks to this proven design, the stands remain stable even when loaded unevenly – with one or two instruments.

Both stands feature a large tripod stand base joined to the stand with a cast hub assembly for durability. The triple guitar stand includes a handle at the top to aid in carrying the stand loaded with instruments. These stands fold up for easy transport and storage. All removable components, like the cradle yokes and neck extensions, are keyed for easy, fool-proof assembly. Body and neck rests are covered in a finish-safe satin rubber and the steel frames are powder coated in “stage-friendly” black.
