Seriously this is one thing that makes me cringe. 
Thousands of dollars of guitars on one of those rickety stands, I get it, one of our esteemed members was able to make it much better by putting his jerk-off towels at the base.
Seriously, I know you think you maybe saving 2-300 dollars by not buying one of these but there is a reason why most major touring acts and musicians use these:
http://www.ultracase.com/gsx-series.html
I have two GSX-8s and I actually got them both used so I saved a little bit of money but I would never trust my guitars to one of those flimsy Warwick Rockstands or similar products on the market.
In fact I know a guy who had a bunch of expensive Les Paul customs, dog ran by and collapsed his stand and did over a few thousand in damage to his LPs. All because he did not want to spend the extra 2-300 on the UltraCase like I recommended, you know to protect his 15k worth of guitars. Think about it, an average custom shop Jackson/Charvel or Gibson is 2500-5k. You have a stand for at minimum 4 to 5 of these. That's an easy 10k or more in value you have on the line. Why sell out the risk for 2 to 300 dollars?
If you have a bunch of nice guitars that you actually play regularly and don't always want to put back in the case get one of these UltraCase stands. Don't risk your nice stuff to one of these rickety stands.
Also if you plan on ordering a UltraCase and you have flying V's just call and request the Kerry King specs and that way the base will be wide enough for the V's you have.
So remember the saying buy once cry once.
