The guitar stand neck is made of tiger maple and decorative inlay, with a cradle and base of waterfall bubinga. Ebony accents make up the headstock cap, tuners and neck holder as well as the caps for the end of the cradle and legs.  The curvature of the neck is derived from the side contour of my Alvarez (Yari) 12 string guitar.

I am looking for a nice guitar stand for my husband who is a casual player. Yours looks beautiful. I don't know much about guitars, but it is not electric. It is a Sierra. Would this stand work and can you tell me the cost and particulars please? Thank you.

davidjt davidjt writes: Very nice stand. From the photo it seems there's a small foot off the back - is that right? Looks like more ebony, too. Very nice.

FYI, it's "Yairi", not "Yari" - easily confused because most Americans mis-pronounce it. Kazuo Yairi started designing fine guitars for Alvarez at least back in the early 70's because I owned one in Nashville, TN in 1972 and played it on many sessions around 18th Ave. South then.
