GUITTO Guitar Balance Support - Classical Guitar Support Foot Stool, Ergonomic Design, Quick Adjustment (Lock) Angle, Suitable for Acoustic Guitars with a Smooth Paint(Lacquer) Finish GGR-01

I've been playing classical guitar on-and-off for 50 years. I've always used the traditional foot stool, but as I was finding that uncomfortable as of late, I decided to try one of these newer guitar supports. There are many on the market at various price points, but after doing my research I decided to give this one a try, and I'm glad I did. This has several adjustable areas, and you have to fiddle with it a bit in order to get the positioning correct. But after 15 minutes of experimentation I was able to find a perfect position at the correct height where the guitar rested and balanced stably and naturally on my leg, while both feet were flat on the ground. I was using a less expensive instrument which had a high gloss finish, so the suction cups adhered strongly without any issue. Others have stated there may be problems with a French polish finish, but at this point I haven't yet tried the set up on my guitar with that finish. So far it's a five out of five stars, with my only concern being its longevity and how it will stand the test of time. Fingers crossed, but meanwhile both feet flat on the ground.

Update: I love this guitar support so much that I bought a second one for a GS mini that doesn’t have a smooth finish. In order for the suction cups to stick, I placed smooth stickers where I wanted to attach the support. They did the trick - as long as the stickers are wider than the suction cups, of course.Original review:This guitar support has been working better than my foot stool, which was causing some back discomfort. It’s well built and sturdier than I expected. It comes well packed in a nice box and includes spares for each of the three suction cups.My guitar has a glossy finish, so the suction cups attach very well. On the instructions, it shows this bracket resting on the left thigh. I have a Taylor Grand Auditorium, which is relatively large, so I set and adjusted this bracket for it to rest on my right thigh instead. This change (having the fretboard closer to me for fingerstyle) has made it more comfortable for playing purposes and for my back.We’ll see how long it will last, but I’ve been using it extensively for five days, and it’s holding up very well. I’m very happy with it.

I’ve seen players using these types of supports for years and finally decided to pick one up. I bought it for its high adjustability. It’s well constructed and easy to use; albeit a bit finicky while loose. My guitar is a matte finish so one of the two suction cups tends to come off after playing for while, but it still stays in place. I did have an issue where the main screw holding the support to the adjustment arms snapped after about a month of use, seller was quick to replace it and I’ve managed to salvage the other as a backup with super glue

I bought this guitar support with 4 other different types. By far this was the best of the 5 as it’s the one I kept. It’s so very well made and so versatile it will work with any style of guitar. As you can see in the picture, I have a classical guitar with a cutout and this support fits. Some of the others didn’t work with my guitar. Plus their quality and packaging were suspect. The design, materials and workmanship far outweigh the others.The only opportunity for improvement I’ll share is that they add an option to give the leg support piece some extra texture to prevent the guitar from sliding. Now, I am just starting to retry playing classical with the guitar resting on my left thigh (more traditional), and I’m sure my lack of experience causes me to fight the position and as I played the guitar would slide along my leg. So, I bought some 3M sidewalk non-slip tape (peel and stick to side walk so the rough side is up; figured if it sticks to concrete…) and trimmed it to shape to fit then thigh support and works like a charm (see first picture). As long as I don’t play in my favorite pair of Speedo’s the rough texture will not be a problem. I think the manufacturer should offer this as an option.I don’t believe you will regret buying this product

I find this to be ok. It serves its purpose to the point of holding the guitar. but comfort is not the best.

I was always having to use a foot prop when playing my Martin D-18,, until now. This really helps me toposition the guitar for comfort. It is built really well and love that it is adjustable. I would recommend getting one for your sit down jams.

This would slip and fall off my guitar very easily, like after several minutes. It was a matte finish, but to be fair they could have included stickers for very cheap to remedy this issue. I would recommend Ergoplay instead. It's not that much more expensive, but significantly higher quality. They are made in Germany, and mine stays stuck on my classical guitar for over a week no problem, compared to this thing which falls off in minutes!

Great product at a nice price. Almost infinite adjustability - just what I needed. Curve of the leg pad fits my leg better. Very sticky suction cups. thus the lift stays nice and secure (plus extra suction cups provided). Better for my aging back than using a footstool, AND this one is way better in my opinion than another higher priced one I tried. Liked it so much I bought 2 more so I could custom fit and designate them to other guitars so I wouldn't have to readjust things all the time (changing the adjustment is actually very easy... I just didn't want to have to do it each time I switched guitars). Very pleased with this purchase!
