Does this need to be used with a closed case? I typically leave my guitars on stands. Can it be used vertically without spilling/damaging the guitar?

This would work strictly for a closed case. I think there would be too much evaporation and the moisture would disperse in an open room, so it wouldn't be effective.

There should be no problem with the guitar in any position, as long as the sponge isn't over-soaked with water running out of the plastic case. After putting the humidifier lid on, you just slide the narrow part between the 2 center strings all the way down to the lip/lid of the humidifier. There are small "bumps" on the sides, slide it in until the strings pass over them, and the string tension will hold it in place with the guitar in any position. I'm not sure how effective it would be if the guitar isn't in a closed case or gig bag; the moisture would just dissipate into the air and likely do nothing at all for the guitar.

I just measured the stand. 2 7/8" at the base of the holder, 3 1/8" halfway up the holder. So a 3" thick guitar would not touch the bottom, but should still work as half of the base would hold it.

This is meant to be used with the guitar in the case. I have humidifiers running by my guitars that are out of their cases.

I use it as a permanent stand for all my electrics. I ordered the same style acoustic stands from hercules as well. I've never had any issues and I prefer that it doesn't keep pressure on the headstock and neck like traditional stands

It might fit with the music stand taken off, but that monster weighs almost forty pounds! I doubt the case would hold up for long, as it is flimsy and cheaply built. It works as a dust cover, but not much protection, I used it for a M-Audio 88es, which weighs far less, and it was hugely too big. So I think it will fit, just is not really appropriate.

Yes case can be closed with props attached but is a little too tight. It will not damage anything if you do leave them on but imho it would be better to remove blades before closing

I would think you'll have some benefit to using this humidifier, but I believe they're most effective when storing the guitar in it's case. If I left mine out on a stand I'd probably opt for humidifying the entire room, (if you can close it off from other rooms and keep the humidity stable).

Yes, it will hold guitars in cases. Just turn the top hooks downward and they don't interfere. It is very sturdy. I have some in case and some out. It looks very nice and organized.

I know there is a lot of talk about certain materials affecting the finish of your instrument and I'm not sure if this stand has the kind of material that is said to be questionable but I can tell you that I have had one of my guitars sitting in this stand continuously for probably almost a year and it has had no damaging effect on the finish, despite the fact that I rarely put it back in its case, so it is always in the stand.

You should get a heavy duty mike stand with a large tripod base. You shouldn't haveE a problem with guitar tipping over!

Not sure it's supposed to or not, but the edges on my ones certainly don't meet in plenty of places. You can see through to the guitar... These cases are most definitely NOT flight-worthy cases, but they're okay for storage and the occasional checked-baggage flight (so long as it's not a US airline...).

It can work if you slide it between the strings. However, you risk water dripping on your instrument if it's on edge.

No problem however the case is positioned. This is probably the best humidifier for guitars. Very simple, neat and clean, and also balanced. The only possible down side is that the replacement packs are relatively expensive, given that they only last two months or so (maybe slightly longer under certain conditions).

I have mine in a keyboard case and have to take it out. I don't think it would work in any type of case. Recommend putting a rubber band around it. I have mine hooked up to a power cord when playing and secure the cord with velcrow to the stand for extra security.

My Deluxe Player's Strat is very similar to the Squier in shape and dimension. It fits very well in this case, and the case is very nice. The one complication is that the vibrato (tremolo) bar must be removed to close the case. I'm careful not to over tighten the bar when I screw it back in. Since I'm lazy, I use a soft case most times so I don't have to remove the bar to put the guitar away, but I love having this fine case, and it's great protection. Warm regards.

On mine, everything is solidly built, tightly attached. I can tell you, though, that this case is VERY heavy (at least to me). If you put a LP-type guitar in it, you'll want to minimize how much you actually have to carry it around.

Huh? No... Guitar cases usually have little plastic or metal feet that are intended to stabilize it when placed on the floor. If you don't like that look, there are these things in your residence called "walls" that you can lean the cases against. That's a viable and cost effective alternative to buying this guitar stand.
