Using this Fender hanging display stand is easy. First, find a suitable wall space where you want to display your guitar or bass. Mount the stand securely on the wall using appropriate hardware. Then, gently place the headstock of your instrument on the padded yoke. The yoke will swivel to fit the shape of the headstock, keeping the instrument hanging straight. As for maintenance, wipe the stand with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the cherry finish. Also, make sure the mounting hardware is tightened periodically to ensure the stand remains stable and your instrument stays safe.
