Jamie Humphries

HERCULES Stands is proud to announce the addition of UK artist/guitarist Jamie Humphries to its family of endorsers. Jamie uses Hercules guitar stands GS402B, GS422B and GS432B.

"I love Hercules stands. My favorite is the compact and strong GS402B. It's small enough that I can put one inside each guitar case. That way I don't have to remember to take a stand from one case and put it into another. The small footprint and low profile makes it perfect for tight spaces. It won't get snagged on anything so guitars don't get tipped over.

"In the studio I use the GS422B and GS432B. You can't misplace the guitars on the stand, and you can change quickly from one guitar to the next. The Auto Grab System makes sure its safe and secure each time."
