Atlas Stands handmade hardwood guitar picks are now available on our website!!! We've gotten numerous requests for them over the last 4 years, so…

 

Here's the link! http://atlas-stands.com/guitar-picks/

I like the stripy ones but I prefer the flame ones you sent a couple a years back. Thanks again for those BTW.

I'll work up some more flame maple guitar picks and send out another round then :) When I do I'll let y'all know. They were my favorite too, but as I recall they were a bit smaller than the standard pick.

 

Here's the latest completed build:

 

We felled this Paulownia a few yards from the Atlas wood shop back in February. Made it into a Low Rider amp stand.

 

Super strong yet lightweight as Balsa.

 

Made for a Tone King Metro.

We wrapped this project up yesterday. It's an Atlas Low Rider Guitar Amp Stand with a Kick-Out Guitar Stand on the front as well as Backrest Extensions. Total weight is super light at 6.5 pounds. Designed to fit a Koch Jupiter combo amp. The closure strap is integrated into the leather monogram inlay. This one also has a carry handle on the back spanner.

You may see this one on stage somewhere near Philly soon!

Wondeful creations as always, Josh! [thumbup]

 

Probably, others are interested too: the padding used on these stands... are they save to nitro finish of Gibson guitars? What kind of material do You use?

 

Thank You!

 

Best wishes... Bence

Hi btoth76, thank you!

 

I use neoprene and have not had any nitro finish damage in 3 years use. I ran tests on some intro swatches as well for several weeks of prolonged contact…no damage to report.

 

I have also used suede and cork in the past, but the neoprene seems to work the best.

The backrest extensions allow Atlas Amp Stands to reach the very top of an amp cab…useful when there is no bracing on the back to support the amp on the stand. It helps with versatility as well if you have several amplifiers.

 

This is a Paulownia Low Rider with backrest extensions and a Kick-Out guitar stand (you use your toes to open and close it, that's how it got its name).

That's a beautiful stand.

As for a "groupie stand", is that made of wood too? [flapper] In my day it was called your boyfriends shoulders!

Personaly, don't have to use them. My Marshall stacks consist of a lower 1960B cab and an upper 412A cab. That's 5 1/2 feet and over 500W of raw power going at the crowd. And there's 3 of them, centre mono, left and right stereo. Take into consideration the height of the stage and bingo, your aimed not only at their ears but over their heads to people way further back. :rolleyes:

Walnut Low Rider Atlas Amp Stand. This is the second "Slide-Out" adjustable guitar stands we've built. The guitar stand is more difficult to build than the amp stand it fits in. Takes a while to make this rig.

 

Built to fit a Tone King Metro or Sky King: http://atlas-stands.com/tone-king-metropolitan-sky-king-atlas-low-rider-amp-stand-w-slide-guitar-stand-backrest-extensions/
