The stand is great, very stable and sturdy. However, it is advertised to be suitable for banjo, mandolin and other instruments with a narrow neck, thanks to the rubber rings. This doesn't work in any way for a (normal) banjo with planetary tuners! It isn't suitable for mandolin, because the stand is too tall, and even an acoustic tenor guitar is too narrow for the AGS top. Also, the stand is adjustable in height, but is way too tall for anything slightly smaller than a standard guitar. Probably more suitable for bass guitars.
