For the guitarist who has everything
I received one as a gift a few years ago. Since then, I find them very useful - and surprisingly stable. I trust my Les Paul to one. As you may know those are notorious for broken headstock. These make a great temporary rest for any guitar!

Really convenient little gizmo
I've got a wall full of guitars and as such, it's inconvenient to have to return a guitar to its stand - which may be on the other side of the room - every time I want to set it down for a minute. This thing is nice, I just clamp it to the edge of my desk and it serves as a great place to lean my guitar against and not have to worry about it moving or being damaged. Me desk is of course horizontal, but the end of this thing rotates and sort of locks into place at the 90 degree (as well as 45 degree) angles so you could attach it to a vertical or even diagonal edge.It's made out of plastic so if you gave it a good hard smack I imagine it would break, but for normal use around the house it should hold up well. Another neat feature is that the "C" shaped thing that cradles the neck can be folded down when not in use, so it stays out of the way.As you can see in the pictures, there are two rubber arms which are supposed to go around the guitar's neck. They're a bit long and tend to just fold back behind the neck (on the picture with the bass I pulled them out myself). I suppose if you wanted to you could just clip them off a bit shorter so they would snap into place by themselves.

Really useful, but needs to be secured
For the money ($7), this is definitely the most convenient mobile "guitar stand" because you can basically just leave it on your amp and have a pretty solid place to lean your guitar wherever you go. The idea is great, but the execution is a little lacking, especially for anything other than gentle home use.This thing kind of stays in place with my bass on it, but it's pretty clear that even a light bump would knock it off. I didn't have much luck using command strips to hold it in place because of the ridges on the bottom. But what did work was just poking a hole through it and using one of the existing screws/holes in my amp to hold it down. Didn't have to make any permanent changes to my amp, and now this thing is solid and won't slip at all. Pretty cheap way to keep my bass from sliding off my amp and to save me from carrying a full guitar stand around.

Ukulele Stand
The Planet Waves Guitar Rest works for ukuleles! I just got one, and have used it for a few days, and it's the bomb! I can set my little ukuleles down now without fear of falling over. This product is a rubber disc with small "arms" in a gentle curve that nestles against the edge of any surface, and you can set your instrument against it, and voila, it doesn't fall over! Here at home, I use it on the second shelf of a bookcase, and my concert sized ukulele fits like a glove, heel on carpet, neck in Guitar Rest.I'm going to buy a couple more for my ukulele cases, because I can use them at one of my uke parties. If one sets a tiny ukulele on the floor, for instance, to take a whizz, they're just small enough to go unseen and have someone step on them. Here, I just find a spot near wherever I'm sitting, and it becomes my "lean" spot, and I can even set my beer can on the round part on the back! Coaster uke/guitar holder. It's quite immovable once it has some weight against it from the instrument. I could carry a metal stand with me, but it wouldn't fit in my ukulele case--this Planet Waves product does. A winner.

A bit pricey, but good
I like this better than the rubber Planet Waves guitar rest, which I also have. This one does a better job keeping your guitar from falling off to the side. Moving the body of the guitar slightly does not have a tendency to move the neck. In fact, the body of the guitar can sit slightly off to the side and still be held securely in place. I have mine attached to the lip of an end table next to the chair where I like to play. The screw clamp is small and not extremely heavy duty, but it is sturdy enough to resist being dislodged inadvertently. You should be able to attach the clamp to any lip with about 1/2-3/4" of material.The yoke where the neck of the guitar sits is rubber coated and should not mar the neck's finish. The prongs of the yoke have a tendency to pluck the strings a bit when you remove the guitar, so best mute your amp beforehand. The prongs close up tight enough that the guitar is not likely to fall out by accident.I will probably pick up another but I think it is a bit overpriced. 15-20 dollars would be more reasonable. Still, if it keeps you from breaking the neck of an expensive guitar, then no doubt the cost will be worthwhile.

Simple, but works perfect!
Very simple product, yet accomplishes a needed task, and does it perfect. Glad to have stumbled upon this product.

Guitar insurance
I broke my first and only guitar neck several years ago when I was a junior high-schooler in my first rock band. I remember that sick feeling when I watched from across the room as my guitar slid down the side of a chair and hit the hard basement floor. In the decades since, I've owned just about every kind of guitar stand they make. They all work well, to varying degrees, but what they all have in common is that they're another piece of equipment that needs to be hauled along to jams, gigs and practice.If you're an active player, it doesn't matter how many stands you own: Sooner or later, you're going to be in a situation where you need to prop up your axe, even if it's just for a minute. So, I bought one of these little guys as soon as I heard about them. I was skeptical because A: They're small and B: They're cheap. On the other hand, they're small and cheap, so what have I got to lose, right?I'm happy to report that the Planet Waves Guitar Rest works as advertised. It's grippy, secure and... did I mention small and cheap? I now keep one in the pocket of my gig bag so it's always available. I purchased another one to keep in my studio, where I always seem to be propping a guitar up against an amp, mixer or desk.It's eight bucks, people. Think of it as broken neck insurance.
