Do the arms hang parallel to the floor or do they tilt up so the guitar doesn't slide off? I know its foam coated but I'm still concerned of sliding

The guitar hanger works just fine. You can adjust the arms to any angle and width you wish. I am using 10 of them and they all work just fine.

The arms hang parallel to the floor and the guitar neck slips in between the two arms, catching the head.

Can't relax, no balance....Needed shorter stand to lower balance point...Your guitar will tip..Be care ful.

I bought two of them and I have them on carpet. It doesn't wobble, tilt, or anything. Stands firm and is one of the best speakers I have bought. I highly recommend these.

I have not but I have a pretty heavy LP Standard hanging on it, if you are worried about weight. And the hanger adjusts to the neck width so you should be good there. I have plaster walls so I mounted these hangers with 2" long deck screws on every stud and staggered them up and down so the guitar bodies didn't interfere. I did NOT use any of the screws that came with it. That's just my opinion.

I haven't tested it with the flying-V, but it doesn't look like it would hold it without the guitar touching the ground.

If you have a level floor this thing isn't shaking. I have mine on carpet and it doesn't move.

The arms are angled up slightly. Both my boards are up on display on these beautiful racks and it's super easy to slide them on/off to go surfing. My 32" wide paddleboard and 8'7" surfboard fit perfectly and the racks are super strong.

Yes, there is dense rubber foam padding strategically placed to make it quieter. The cymbals only touch the inside shaft, unless they bump together while you're carrying it. I still have a little noise of cymbals hitting each other if I shake it or set it down hard, but it's not super noisy. My cymbals are old & dirty, so I can't tell you if the padding would scuff shiny cymbals. It's black dense foam rubber, from the looks of it.

I did not have that problem with mine. It sounds like the upper and lower tracks that the doors slide in are not parallel. If you've assembled it correctly then your only recourse may be return it for a non-defective unit.

this one does not tilt unless the top is assembled on thw wrong side. No there is nothing to prevent things from sliding off. I may use an old school desk to replace the top

That is what I would do. It is tight to prevent the support arm from moving, and thus falling over. I had no reason to adjust it, as it works well on top of my piano.

The tubing is adequately padded but your guitar finish is still not safe. This rack doesn't hold your guitar in a stationary position. Lacking a proper restraint, it frequently falls into guitars standing next to it with damage resulting.

Well when I placed them on the bare floor you had to play with them a bit so they would stay, they would wobble but when I had them on carpet, they were a bit more sturdy. I am not sure if it is just the 2 I bought that are a bit uneven but I do like them just wish they would stay on the bare floor better and the gaps in between each panel were a bit closer. Hope this helps.

The screws on my tone arm go upward into to seated nuts. Some arms may have a variation on this theme. The important factor is balancing the arm, then setting the stylus pressure.

I really don't know. I purchased these stands for lower brand guitars. So I'm not sure how the materials might affect a guitar's finish. Great question, but I would guess if I had a more expensive guitar that I might opt for a higher end stand due to my previous review. After all, if the stand can tip over so easily, I would assume no guitar finish is that safe if the guitar continues to get knocked over all the time.

Steve, the neck is thru, NOT bolted on. I bought this for my son, who is starting to play. As I have been playing for 30 years, I did not want a $300 guitar that wouldn't stay in tune, and a new guitar needs to be bought in a year. I am very happy with the purchase. It is a very good looking guitar, the quilted maple is nice. Quality hardware with Duncan pickups, and Grover tuners. The pickups having a push pull pot to switch to single coils is a nice bonus. You do get hum with the single coil, but that is not the guitar's fault. Action is low, feels good to play. Sounds good too. I feel like I got a good deal on this axe.

I play guitar, (and weigh 300) and rock side to side a lot when I play. I use the highest setting. I don't tend to go back and forth that much, but it feels solid in all 4 directions, after being used over a dozen times on stage. Down the road it may loosen up, but not so far. (The little rubber feet need to be glued on though, they 'walk' off every time I pack it away with other gear). So far, i'm happy.
