PROEL FC80 - Universal Floor Stand for Electric, Acoustic and Bass Guitar
The PROEL FC80 is the ultimate solution for musicians seeking stability, protection, and versatility in a compact format. Designed by the prestigious Italian brand Proel, this floor stand stands out for its robust metal construction and professional anthracite gray finish, going beyond basic standards to offer an elegant and durable aesthetic.
Its clever "A-frame" (low-profile) design incorporates universal arms that adjust perfectly to the depth of different soundboards. This means you don't need to change stands if you switch from playing a solid-body electric guitar to a bulky acoustic guitar or an electric bass; the FC80 holds it all securely. The structure is designed to keep the center of gravity low, ensuring your instrument stays safe on stage, in the studio, or in your living room.
The safety of your instrument is the FC80's number one priority. All metal parts that could come into contact with the guitar are covered with soft, durable rubber foam . This high-quality padding not only prevents accidental slippage but also protects your instrument's finish and varnish from scratches, bumps, and unwanted marks, keeping it looking pristine day after day.
