This device really changed my playing / practicing routine and made me come back to classical guitar practice. I'm writing this review a year after I bought it and I've used it every day since.

I've used a small foot stool before, which made my back pretty hurt all the time. This invention simply changed everything, now 2 hours practice per day is really joy. It is very stable, suction cups firmly attache guitar and rubbery pad under it just fixes your guitar to your leg.

It will take you some time to find the right spot where to attach on the guitar, it is very important to experiment and find right spot . It is very flexible, almost any angle can be adjusted. I can really not find any drawback on this device...

This is a fantastic improvement over the various traditional foot stools I grew up using for many years; far sturdier and a much greater degree of control over the angle and height of the guitar.

I looked into these kinds of rests as I was beginning to get pins and needles in my leg while using a foot stool, and have found that not only has that problem been resolved, but I am able to get a much finer adjustment over the instrument positioning improving overall comfort.

The only concern I had about purchasing this was that it may leave marks on the finish of my guitar, but having owned this for a year now I have not noticed any ill effect whatsoever. Your mileage may vary, of course.

A great piece of kit that I would highly recommend.

This is a fantastic guitar support. I've tried many different ones (Gitano, Liikanen, Guitarlift etc...) but this is the best for me so far. Much more comfortable sitting position than a traditional foot rest and you can adjust it to have the guitar sit higher. After starting to use this I've had no back or hip strain from my playing position, which can't be said for a traditional foot rest.

The screw that you adjust angle and height with is easy to tighten and doesn't slip, so you don't have to tense up while practicing, or worry about the support slipping into an unwanted position in the middle of a concert (a problem I've had with other supports). The only downside is that only one side is height adjustable, and for this reason I've considered changing to the Troster model of the same product. Especially if you're tall, have a long back and long arms, the height adjustment for the other side would give better support for the right hand. All in all I would recommend this to most guitarists as a superior alternative to the traditional foot rest.

This is probably one of the best optional tools ive bought for my guitar, i bought it here it in august 2022. Good quality product!!

My spine, shoulders, arms, hands and neck are also thankful, it also increase your performance as a guitar player
Making things you struggled with become more easy because you dont strain anything, so instead of losing focus and tension spreads from limb to limb.

Ergonomical posture will help the fingers moving on the fretboard and get better reach, positions, accuracy dexterity and speed since you dont get tired and play more correct.

I also want to give the YouTuber
Brandon Acker a shoutout, he had this in a video i saw and explained its benefits and its all true.

Great human, classical guitarist, musician also and have a well of knowledge he shares with his audience

If you have a classical guitar, why are you still reading, Thomann could be handling your order right now instead, come back after its done ;)
