The PVC single guitar stand

Step 2 Parts and tools

For this project you will need:

PVC Pipe
I used 1/2 inch pipe and it seems to be stronger than what I need which is definitely a good thing. PVC cement isn't necessary.
The measurement here are approximate and what worked with my Fender Strat. If your guitar is significantly thicker, you might want to tweak the length of the pipes.
2 8 1/2 in
1 7 1/2 in
2 4 3/4 in
2 2 3/4 in
6 1 1/4 in

Foam for pipe insulation (to protect your guitar)

PVC Fittings
2 Elbow fittings
8 PVC T fittings
1 PVC cross fitting

Tools
PVC pipe cutter (recommended if you want to get the job done quickly)
Acrylic paint and brush (optional)

hi,
where did you get your cross-fitting?
i can't seem to find it anywhere.

the last step, you mention making a Guitar Hero Stand. will this stand work with a Guitar hero guitar or only a regular "real" guitar. also, for the GH stand you show in the last picture, was that made with the same sized pieces as the ones you listed, or did you use different sized pieces?

This stand will work with GH guitars but I would use the 1/4" pipe. I have only seen it at Lowes and it's listed as hot/cold PVC and it is beige. I'm not sure if they have cross fittings for that size but they should. Mine uses the 1/4" pipe for GH. I still kept my GH stand simple since those guitars aren't heavy. I uploaded new pictures to the last step so you can see it.

sounds sort of like 1/2" CPVC. Thats what i would use for a guitar hero stand. I don't know why its listed as 1/2" though, it is actualy like 3/8" I think. It would be a good size for guitar hero. The total amount of pipe is an inch short of 4 feet (I'm pretty sure) for any one who wants to know the total amount of pipe they need.
