Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm familiar with the On Stage Classic Series XCG-4. I have two that I’ve used for years. The Amazon images above are of an On Stage Classic series XCG-4 guitar stand. But there is something wrong here. What I received is either a cheap knock off, or, On Stage changed their XCG-4 for the worse. And based on reviewer photo’s. It appears others have also received a different item then what is pictured above by Amazon. Considering the issues they mention, I am not at all surprised by the issues they are having. This stand is not designed as well as the XCG-4’s I know. End caps simply fall off. Neck yoke band strap is different size and not as firm. Body yoke is narrower. There is more play where the Vee groove sits in the bottom tube. Creating more distance for the Tee handle screw to travel in to hold the top tube firmly. T handle knob is smaller. Added up it’s not as easy to use. Best I could find out from On-Stage was that they did change/modify the XCG-4 Classic Stand. What those changes were, I can’t say. The silver label with silver underline reading; On-Stage only, is the one I am reviewing. Knowing the previous iteration of this stand, I would not recommend this stand.
