Hi Rob,

and welcome to this list. Interesting idea you have about building  
stands for your instruments. I know some musician friends that did  
that. If you have a stand for your acoustic you could simply swing  
over the electric at your back when approaching the acoustic. That  
would be fun to watch, being in the audience ;-)

I too play many instruments, but I have more or less chosen not to  
bring them all at gigs - rather focusing on techniques to use one  
instruments for many musical roles. Like bringing a cello bow and a  
flute with an electric guitar or like using a pitch shifter to make a  
tenor sax sound a little differently on some occasions. My newest  
love is an EWI and for this instrument I have created multi layered  
and cross-faded sampler patches of my stratocaster played through a  
cranked tube amp top plus marshal cabinet, so I can play those sounds  
with this little clarinet-like thing of metal and plastics. Very  
portable and good sounding but not quite as cool looking on stage as  
the top and cab with the strat ;-)
