Hardware-Grade Stand Construction — Made in USA
The GS1 is a single-instrument stand engineered and built to the same standard as the rest of Form Factor Audio's product line. High-quality Baltic Birch Plywood forms the structural elements; powder-coated and anodized 6061-T6 aluminum standoffs and stainless steel hardware complete the assembly. The result is a stand designed for decades of regular use, in a finish selection that ranges from solid color blacks through textured paint colors and natural wood tones.
Trusted by studio professionals, touring bassists, and serious collectors, the GS1 is offered in eight standard finishes (with custom colors available on request). Every GS1 ships pre-assembled from the California factory, ready for immediate use.
What it does
A single-instrument stand suitable for electric guitar, acoustic guitar, or bass guitar. Baltic Birch Plywood base and uprights. Powder-coated or anodized 6061-T6/T651/T6511 aluminum standoffs paired with stainless steel hardware throughout. Pre-assembled at the California facility.
“The hardware in a guitar stand isn't an afterthought. It's the structure that supports an instrument that can represent a player's primary working tool, often built up over years. We designed the GS1 with 6061-T6 aluminum standoffs because that's the same alloy used in aerospace applications — we wanted a stand that would still be in service in twenty years. The Baltic Birch Plywood, the stainless hardware, the pre-assembly — all of it follows from that engineering decision.” — Mike Lera, Head of Engineering & Design
