Solid Ground Stands – Guitar Stand in Maple
Please note that the photo is representative. Due to variations in wood grain the actual stand you receive will vary slightly and is therefore unique.
Have you been searching for a functional yet attractive stand to complement your favorite guitar? Do you need complete confidence in a stable and sturdy stand, but desire the artistic beauty of natural hardwoods? Have you been looking for all the above in a portable, folding design for easy transport or storage?
Then, welcome to Solid Ground Stands. We are a family of musicians and woodworkers creating finely crafted musical instrument stands using only the finest premium hardwoods such as walnut, cherry, curly maple, and sapele. Our first design comfortably fits most acoustic and electric guitars, and we are already working on similar designs for other stringed instruments including banjo, bass guitars (acoustic and electric), mandolins, ukuleles, and fiddles/violins.
Whether you are a professional player, a passionate student, a discerning instrument aficionado, or maybe just someone who genuinely appreciates fine craftsmanship and exquisite hardwoods (or all of the above), we believe a Solid Ground Stand will provide a beautiful yet functional support for your most valued musical instrument investments.
Made in the USA from the finest premium hardwoods.

Grace Design ALiX Studio Quality Instrument Preamplifier / DI / EQ
Like its big sibling the FELiX, ALiX is built into the same roadworthy floor unit chassis, portable enough to throw in your bag or strap to your pedalboard, but still deliver studio quality sound to the stage. With the same stunning audio performance and legendary reliability as our pro audio range, ALiX brings open, musical and nuanced sonic character to any performance situation.
The same powerful eq section as the FELiX allows simple and intuitive tone shaping. The high pass filter cuts 12dB per octave from 20Hz to 1kHz, and can also be set as a notch filter for chasing down problem feedback or rumble areas. Parametric midrange covers from 70Hz all the way to 8KHz, and fixed low and high controls are carefully voiced for musical shading of bass and treble.
Controls are dead simple and clearly marked on the panel, making them easy to read and tweak on a dark stage. Footswitches include a mute / tune switch for muting all outputs except the dedicated tuner out, and a boost switch which activates the 10dB variable boost circuit.
The instrument input has a 3 position impedance switch to ensure your pickup system sounds its very best. The isolated DI output with our custom wound transformer delivers stunning clarity and bass response with incredibly low noise. A dedicated, level controlled amplifier output can be used to drive a stage amp or personal monitor, and a dedicated tuner output stays active when all the other outputs are muted.
Power is supplied by a universal 100-240VAC input module. 12V phantom is available in the line input for electret / lavalier mics, and we’ve even included a 9VDC 500mA BOSS™ style pedal power output jack, so you can power your tuner and effects right from your ALiX. A TRS insert is included for adding effects.
Regardless of what you play – ALiX is designed to help you sound better, play better and deepen the bond between you and your instrument.
