Gator GTR-STD4 - Foldable Rack Style Stand for 4 “Gator GTR” Guitars
The Gator GTR-STD4 is a rack-style, four-guitar stand that unfolds into a stable stand for stage or studio use and folds down into a compact flight case for easy transport. Designed for professional use, it accommodates electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and electric basses in any combination, providing a tidy, secure, and robust solution for organizing your collection or backline.
Its frame is made of high-quality Baltic birch wood , covered with dark gray carpet that protects the exterior from bumps and scratches. Inside, a heavy-duty black plush lining keeps the instruments' finish safe from scratches, while a system of safety elastic bands prevents the guitars from sliding out if the stand is bumped during use.
The stand section opens and locks using recessed Penn-Elcom twist-latch latches , the same type used on touring flight cases. When you need to pack up, simply fold the frame, snap it into case mode, and lock it with the latches . Rubber feet on the base and back prevent wear and tear and improve stability on the floor.
With approximate external dimensions of 75.0 x 49.5 x 12.7 cm (length x width x height, folded) and a weight of around 11 kg , the GTR-STD4 offers an excellent balance of capacity (up to 4 instruments) , protection, and portability. It is an ideal choice for guitarists with multiple guitars, studios, rehearsal spaces, music schools, and rental companies looking for a professional-quality multi-guitar stand .

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of instruments can I place in the Gator GTR-STD4?
The stand is designed for up to four electric, acoustic, or electric bass guitars , in any combination. The spacing between bodies and the rack height accommodate standard models from most well-known brands.
Is it safe for guitars with nitro finishes or vintage lacquers?
The manufacturer states that the stand is safe for polyurethane finishes , but its use is not recommended for nitrocellulose lacquer guitars or vintage/lacquer finishes . If you have very delicate or antique instruments, it is preferable to use a specific "nitro-safe" stand or place a protective cloth between them.
Can it be transported like a case?
Yes. Once folded and locked with the twist latches, the GTR-STD4 becomes a compact case with a carrying handle , easy to load and stack in vehicles or warehouses.
Does it take up a lot of space when folded?
When folded, the stand measures approximately 75.0 x 49.5 x 12.7 cm , so it fits easily in car trunks, vans and shared storage areas.
Do guitars rest on metal or hard surfaces?
No. The contact areas are fully lined in plush , and elastic bands keep the guitars secure to prevent slipping.
Can it be used with the stand partially full (e.g., only 2 guitars)?
Yes. The stand works perfectly whether you place one, two, or three guitars on it; the elastic bands and V-shaped design keep each instrument stable regardless of the total number.
