1. Introduction

This instruction manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Stagg GDC-6 Universal Guitar Stand. This stand is designed to securely hold multiple guitars, offering a convenient storage solution for musicians. Please read this manual thoroughly before assembly and use.

2. Safety Information

• Ensure the stand is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
• Do not overload the stand beyond its specified capacity (up to 6 electric or 3 acoustic guitars).
• Regularly inspect the stand for any signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use if damage is found.
• Keep children and pets away from the stand, especially when guitars are loaded, to prevent accidental knocks.
• Avoid placing the stand in high-traffic areas where it might be easily bumped.

3. Setup and Assembly

The Stagg GDC-6 guitar stand is designed for straightforward setup as it unfolds from its travel case. Follow these steps to prepare your stand for use:

1. Place the closed travel case on a flat, stable surface.
2. Unlatch the front buckles and open the top lid of the case.
3. Carefully lift the internal support structure, which forms the main frame of the stand.
4. Extend the side support panels outwards until they lock securely into position, forming the upright sides of the stand.

4. Operating Instructions

To use your Stagg GDC-6 Universal Guitar Stand:

• Gently place your guitars into the padded slots. The stand can accommodate up to 6 electric guitars or 3 acoustic guitars.
• Ensure the neck of each guitar rests securely in the padded neck supports.
• Utilize the removable dividers to adjust spacing as needed for different instrument sizes.
• For added security, especially during transport, ensure the neck restraints are properly engaged.

5. Maintenance

• Clean the stand regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspect the padding and structural components periodically for wear and tear. Replace any damaged parts to ensure continued instrument protection.
• Store the stand in a dry environment when not in use, especially if it is folded into its travel case.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Guitars do not fit or are too tight:

The stand is designed for a maximum of 6 electric or 3 acoustic guitars. Acoustic guitars are generally wider and may require adjusting the removable dividers or using fewer slots. Ensure dividers are correctly positioned to accommodate wider instruments without excessive pressure.

6.2 Stand feels unstable:

Verify that the stand is fully extended and all locking mechanisms are engaged. Ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface. Uneven weight distribution can also affect stability; try to balance the load of instruments.
