On the high end of things, it's impossible to beat the deluxe 34 stands. Down a notch, a lot of people use the "x-brace" keyboard stands. And down to my price range:


$5-$15 at a Salvation Army near you...
I actually have the official stand that's made for my MSA Superslide, but it wobbles like a drunk in an earthquake - my walker works best! Plus, I always know where my walker is.

I have one of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=604449&gclid=CIT-x6S-i8QCFcVhfgod3aIACA&Q=&is=REG&A=details
You need to make a top for it that'll hold your particular guitar.

I bought the same thing John bought and it works very well. I double sticky taped some of that rubbery black non-skid shelf liner on it and it is solid. You even have room to put a cup of coffee nearby on it. I bought it because It will support my double neck guitars as well.

John I have put mine on it and it works fine but I need to figure some kind of attachment that's easy and nice looking to support the neck.
let me know if it works for you and what you might use for a support.

I tried a bunch of low-budget solutions, but I sprung for a deluxe34 stand and have zero regrets. It's a great stable design, well-machined. I play sitting, so I went with the 3-legged version. I might have chosen the 4-legged model if I played standing.
