Have you looked into GRACIE GUITAR STANDS?
I use one to hold my Ovation acoustic. I know
they have other types available for electrics.
Might want to google or ebay it.

These guys have them

They aren't cheap!

Hmm, that does indeed look interesting. You're right about them not being cheap though...ouch!

Added pics. This is for round back types but others are available.  

 

 Hope this helps. If you don't need to move as much this was a life saver. I'd torn up my right rotator cuff and used this until it healed. NLP  (Message edited by davehouck on December 17, 2006)

It cost me over $2500. for my rotator cuff fix and a $160.00 stand was worth it to me. You might get a deal if you shop around!

That's another one for the checklist....thanks for all the suggestions guys.

I'm married to a chiropractor. Good career move.

Wow, that'd save me a fortune....well, in chiropractic fees at least. Mind you, I do have mixed results with chiropractic (no offense to your other half intended!)

BTW - quote - The guitar player in my band, because of his back problems, sits on a bar stool at our gigs.  
 
The only time our guitarist ISN'T sitting on a bar stool is at our gigs..

Thats too funny Bill!

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!

Well, keep in mind there's good chiropractors and bad. A bad one can either jack you up or not do much either way, especially if they're not paying attention. In my case, I probably wouldn't be playing today at all without it. And it took getting cracked on a nearly daily basis for awhile for it to really have a helpful effect, so no, there's no way I could've afforded that. Scary!

Too right hb....

I saw this topic an decided I had to make a suggestion. As someone earlier stated about the stands(like in the Steve Howe pic) that was my first suggestion. If you have ever heard of keller williams he uses one for his bass. Ill find a picture for you.
