Setup and Assembly
The Pyle Multi-Guitar Stand is designed for straightforward assembly. Follow these steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Refer to the "What's in the Box" section to ensure all pieces are present.
- Attach Base Bars: Connect the two padded base bars to the main vertical supports using the provided screws and washers. Ensure they are aligned correctly and tighten securely.
- Install Connecting Rods: Attach the two connecting rods between the main vertical supports at the lower section. These rods provide additional stability to the base.

Operating Instructions
Using your Pyle Multi-Guitar Stand is simple and effective:
- Placement: Position the stand on a level, stable surface in your desired location, ensuring there is enough space around it for easy access to your instruments.
- Loading Guitars: Gently place your guitars into the designated slots. The body of the guitar should rest on the padded base bars, and the neck should be supported by the padded neck rests on the top bar.
- Compatibility: The stand is universally compatible with electric, acoustic, and bass guitars. It can accommodate up to 7 instruments, depending on their body thickness.
- Portability: For transport or storage, the stand can be easily collapsed. Loosen the assembly screws (do not remove completely) to fold the frame, then re-tighten for compact storage.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pyle Multi-Guitar Stand, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the powder-coat finish.
- Padding Inspection: Regularly check the velveteen rubber padding on the base and neck rests for any signs of wear, tears, or degradation. Damaged padding should be replaced to prevent scratches to your instruments.
- Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, or for transport, collapse the stand and store it in a dry, cool place to prevent rust or material degradation.
