I second Mark Ross - the Fender is the one to go for. Light, compact, stable, comes with its own bag. I bought mine in the wonderful Haight Ashbury Music Center several years ago (but they are sold in many other places) and have taken it everywhere I go with the guitar.

Never could understand why people pay megabucks for a good axe and then lean it against the wall for any idiot to knock over. At least on a stand, it looks as if someone loves it!

And here's a tip for the guitar teachers out there - try and get your students to buy a stand and get into the habit of taking the guitar out of its carry case and putting it on the stand every time. Then it will get a lot more playtime!
