Hi Scott. It arrived in perfect shape. Love the stand!!!
These are really great stands, that truly compliment the craftsmanship of that great guitar.
Thanks, Rod MD
Scott,
Thank you! My husband and I were very excited to find you on the internet. I have been looking for months for a really nice handmade
guitar stand for his acoustic guitar. Your designs are terrific and craftsmanship's appears excellent. I am an artist and find great
pleasure in beautiful work that not only has a sense for design, but is also practical. It is an anniversary gift for him that we picked
out together. Thanks again!

Hey Scott, I got the wall stands and they are awesome. I sent a picture of 3 out of the 14 of my collection so you could see how
well they fit. I wanted to thank you for being patient and making the custom adjustments to fit these large acoustic basses. I
have been collecting for a long time and have never wanted to hang these high dollar instruments by the neck. Now that I have
the wall stands I don't have to worry about any damage. You really have a great product.
Thanks again, Conrad
I purchased a stand from Scott as a Christmas present for a friend with a beautiful Martin 00-28. She absolutely loves the stand and
if she's not playing her Martin it's in the stand, or it's "home" as she calls it. There are so many cheap, plastic or chrome stands on the
market but if you really want something to compliment your high-end instrument, these are the only stands that make the cut. I hope to
get one for myself, and my Martin 00-17, sometime soon!

Hi Scott,
I just received my guitar stand and I am very pleased with the overall craftsmanship.
I spent quite some time looking for a stand to compliment my Martin 000-28ECB and my living room décor.
Most of the stands I found were more contemporary by design and would not blend very well in our country setting.
I have to say it is a very suitable match. It is superbly built with nice laminate work and the guitar fits nice and snug.
The Oak / Cherry combination offers a nice contrast and looks absolutely beautiful.

Scott,
I received the stand and I am impressed with the design as well as the looks. I had looked at several different wooden stands
this design was the one that caught my attention. My new Martin looks great in the stand and as your site states if the
guitar is out of the case and in the stand it will be played more often.

Scott, I can't tell you how pleased I am on this guitar stand, you packed it
perfectly for shipment. I asked for a guitar stand and received a work of
art, I went out and bought a new martin 000-42 guitar to accent your piece.
Your craftsmanship is superb. THANKS SCOTT, John Vista, CA
I wanted to thank you for a beautiful guitar stand. The attention to detail, the various wood inlays and the meticulous finish make
this stand one worth owning. I currently have my dad's guitar displayed on it and I am thrilled with how it looks. The quality of this
stand has me telling my guitar-enthusiast friends all about it. THANK YOU!

Hello Scott,
The guitar stand arrived a few days ago and I'm very happy I bought it. Just what I wanted, and Mike loves it! He
couldn't believe I bought it for him.
Thank you for such a beautiful piece of work and the quick shipping.
J Bergmann
Scott,
The guitar stand was a gift for my husband.
He is thrilled with your workmanship, the quality of the piece and the price!
He says that it is aesthetically pleasing, well balanced and beautifully crafted.
All of his guitars, both electric and acoustic, fit the stand perfectly.
You were wise to put some of your business cards in the drawer. He has already shared them with some of his friends.
Thank you for helping me make his day!

Scott,
I received my guitar stand today, shipped in perfect condition! I have to admit I was preparing myself for something a little more "hand
crafted" looking but what I got was a beautiful piece of furniture. The attention to detail and the finish were perfect. I searched
numerous companies and websites for a nice furniture-like wooden guitar stand, I definitely made the right choice.
Thank you!

Scott,
The stand looks great. I am very impressed with the quality and workmanship.
The different colors of the wood make it a beautiful work of art.
My guitar is safe and can not be easily knocked over, but yet is a conversation piece that people admire.
Thank you for the time and effort you put in making this guitar stand. It is a welcome addition to my home.
Thanks again,
Mike Robertsville, MO
Hi Scott,
Received the stand last week and it is beautiful. No damage. You have created a beautiful guitar stand that we both
love. Thank you.

Hi Scott,
I received the guitar stand yesterday afternoon and it is exactly as I had hoped. It is absolutely beautiful
and the craftsmanship is excellent. Thank you for finishing the work as promised and delivering even a little
earlier than I expected. I will use the stand for many years to come and it makes owning and
playing my guitar even more enjoyable.
Thanks again,

Just a quick note to let you know that I received the guitar stand today safe and sound.
Packaging was great and it looks every bit as good as did on the web sight.
I recently bought a Gibson SJ-200 which is sitting naturally in the stand right now (almost like it is part of the guitar)....
much better than the aluminum tube stands that my other
guitars sit in. I will be buying another.
Thanks so much for exceptional service and a first class product.

The guitar stand that you crafted for Lieutenant General Rochelle's
(Deputy Chief of Staff, Army G-1) Farewell Retirement gift was
absolutely beautiful. As an avid guitarist and a military officer for
over 37 years of service to our nation, the stand was a unique and
cherished gift. I am attaching some photos from his retirement dinner
hosted by the Army G-1 family.
Thank you so much for your exquisite attention to detail and support.

Hi Scott,
I'm writing on behalf of my wife Judy who recently purchased Stand #51 for me and my guitars. It arrived in perfect
condition via UPS last Friday. I was very impressed with the thought and care you invested in the packaging of the item for
shipping. The stand was bagged and then surrounded by styrofoam peanuts in a very heavy duty cardboard box. Then each
point on the stand which could possibly be damaged in the event of a heavy impact during transit was protected by an
additional large chunk of styrofoam. Excellent!
I have four dreadnoughts which I will rotate from time to time on the stand.
We chose the #51 because we liked it's lines and finish and we thought it would compliment the original pine flooring and
wood trim in the living room of our 169 year old home. It looks great just as we thought. We're very happy with the
purchase. Keep up the good work!
Keith Fields
I received the walnut and beech guitar stand (#50) yesterday. Wow, I have to admit it looks every bit as beautiful in
person as it does on the photos on your website! The quality of the wood you used is absolutely first rate. And the
craftsmanship, which is so evident in the joinery and snug fit of the component parts, is impeccable. I would happily
recommend your work to anyone looking for both form and function in a guitar stand. Best of luck .

I just received your gorgeous mandolin stand on which my Hawaian ukulele fits proudly.
Work of heart, art of work. Thanks so much.

I received the guitar stand yesterday and was very pleased. It was easy to put together and beautifully crafted. I’m so
glad that I found your website! I was looking for a quality wooden guitar stand that wasn’t something I could just buy at
the store and I certainly found what I was looking for. It is going to make a wonderful and unique Christmas present!
Thank you so much!

Hey Scott,
Nothing compliments the craftsmanship of a handmade acoustic instrument like a finely made guitar stand. South
Mountain Woodworks creates functional art every bit as beautiful as my guitar. Now my guitar, and this graceful stand,
occupy center stage in my living room.

Wow! You do very fine work. Really a piece of art. You may quote me.

Hi Scott,
Received the stand yesterday, and what a beauty it is! It has taken a special place in our Great-room and is a
"fine piece of furniture" on it's own. The mandolin in it is beautiful, but it covers your superb craftsmanship, so I
may just have to play it more often so my guests may see the stand in all it's splendor. The design definitely proves
that excellent form will lead to excellent function .
Thank you again for sharing your skills with us all.

Scott,
I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the quality guitar stand from your company. My Gibson J-200 has found its home with your
stand. I appreciate the quality workmanship and beauty of the woodwork. I will be ordering additional stands. Your shipping and
customer service was excellent.
Thanks,

Scott,
The stand is fabulous! Finally somebody “gets it” in the design department. I have been searching the internet for quite some time now for a
classy, well built wood guitar stand that incorporated certain elements. First, I didn’t want my custom hand built guitars hanging from the
headstock for extended periods of time. Some say this doesn’t hurt anything, but I don’t necessarily agree. Second, the guitar needs some type
of system to prevent it from being knocked out of the stand in the event of a rare accident. And lastly, the stand needs to be made by a
craftsman who can build something that compliments the beauty of a fine instrument. I have found other stands that accomplish most of these
requirements, but you are the first to master all of them. The Adjustable Back Support is the final element that makes this the stand I’ve
been searching for. I can hardly wait for my Wall Stands to arrive as well.
Thanks,
John Cooley
We received the stands a few days ago and they are absolutely beautiful. My wife is thrilled to have such a
well crafted stand for two of her favorite guitars.
Thank you,

The guitar stand is my second piece of furniture built by Scott, but it won't be my last.
The lines are clean, and the workmanship is the finest. It is a joy to display my Les
Paul on this piece of art.
Thanks, Scott.

Hi Scott,
Wow! What beautiful workmanship, it is even more beautiful than pictured. My husband had a
custom guitar made last year and this will be perfect for it. You don't think when having a guitar made
that you actually might like a "custom" stand as well to display it (until you display it is something not
so attractive!). I'm so happy I found your site!
Thanks again,
Laurie
I got the stand this last Monday, and everything was perfect.
What an absolutely stunning piece of woodworking!
The magnets used on the neck latch are unbelievably stronger than I had anticipated. Everything lined up perfectly.
Every item and feature on this has not only been well thought out, but is totally functional. Attention to the detail is
the highest Sad to say, I am still putting my guitar on the wall hanger and not on the stand – the stand is so beautiful, I
don’t want the guitar hiding the stand where I can’t admire it!
Warmly,
-Jay
Hi Scott-
I've been meaning to get this little "thanks" and review sent to you for awhile now, but at least I've had the opportunity to get to
know and enjoy the new guitar stand. It is spectacular!
A match made in heaven, would probably best describe the moment when you first place your guitar down on the stand. I still don't
know which I prefer setting out on display, the traditional guitars or the ones with more exotic woods - - I think I'll have to rotate
them. If there is any downside to the combination, it is that when the guitar sits on the stand (which it does with great aplomb and
stability) it hides to some extent the beauty of your fine creation. I guess that even makes lifting the guitar off even that more
enjoyable - especially with guests in the room. As for the functionality, beside that of holding the guitar solidly as it should, the
retaining arms around the neck work great and release with just a flick of the finger - clever!.
I'm glad I came across your design and craftsmanship, it is exactly what I was envisioning and hoping for. Thanks again for all you
help with the ordering and delivery - - wonderful guitar stand!!
Tod Peterson
Scott,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how extremely satisfied I am with the South Maintain guitar stand I ordered
(Cherry and Walnut). The craftsmanship is first-rate, the design makes it like a piece of furniture, and the stabilty is excellent. I live
in the Northeast and have to frequently battle dry humidity, in spite of an in-line humidifier and two portable ones I use in different
rooms. Because of that, I generally opt to keep my guitars in their case. However, on weekends and days when I'll be playing quite a
bit off and on, I'll rotate my Collings OM and Martin 000 in the stand. I highly recommend your stands! Thanks again.

Scott,
I received the guitar stand, it is beautiful, the curly maple drew me to the stand, it is much better constructed then others
I looked at, the recipient was thrilled. I believe the guitar placed on the stand is a Gibson acoustic. Thank you for extending
yourself to make sure I received the stand, it truly a piece of art. Bonita
Scott,
I received my banjo stand and everything looks great. As I expected, your thoughtful design is not only functional but
pleasing to the eye. The woodwork is superb and finished exactly as I requested. Thank you so much, it is perfect!
Jack Spahr
Dear Scott,
I just received the mandolin stand and I couldn't be more pleased. I have always wanted to display my Dad's mandolin and
your stand was just what I was looking for. Thank you for getting it to me so quicky.
Sincerely,

Words for your website:
The guitar stand arrived today nicely packed and in time for Christmas! It certainly is a wonderful piece of workmanship and
clever design with the use of magnets. I’m sure it will go nicely with the custom Huss and Dalton guitar that my friend will
be getting here soon.
Thanks for a great product!
Pete
Scott,
We received the guitar stand on Tuesday and it arrived in great shape with no damage. The stand was packed very well.
We are extremely happy with the stand for it’s a gift for our son-in-law. The Model 1 guitar stand we purchased in walnut
with cherry trim looks very nice. The two woods really complement the stand along with the workmanship, quality and
innovativeness you put into your work. Everything about the stand has been well done up to and including the beautiful
finish. I have an appreciation for good craftsmanship and your work exceeds my expectations. Thanks for the great service
and maintaining such high standards.
Regards,
Jim and Ruth Ann
