Nice review, Tomas! I thought I'd seen all of your videos, but this came up on the front page and--sure enough--there was no red line through it. I tried a similar lift last year at the RI Guitar festival, I might pick one up down the road someday.
Thanks for watching, Ken! It's a medium sized Guitarlift. You'll need to estimate the correct size and model from your own size and desired playing angle. 😎
I blame my back problems on the uncomfortable hunch and twist that the "standard" way of playing the guitar has held my body for thousands of hours of my life. A lot of players seem to like this design over other designs. I think it's time to try this lift for myself. I hope it doesn't take long to adjust to.
You can move the suction caps with the provided tool, and you can choose between different sizes. So there shouldn't be any problem to adapt it to your liking. For my part, after trying the standard positions for a while, I've found it to be the most suitable position. I'm pretty sure your back will get better, but you may have to consult someone to make the muscles go back to their original state so to say. While waiting for this one I had to use a standard foot rest for a couple of weeks, and it didn't take long before I noticed that my running technique was deteriorating back to how it was before.
I couldn´t explaine better. When I was a student I used the classical feet on the floor an guitar on left leg. After a lot of years with horrible back pain, I started to play with gitano support and guitar on the right leg. Better but still far of perfect. I am thinking about this guitar lift. I would make whatever would be necessary for avoiding back pain.
Okay. Yes there are quite a lot of options out there. Today I've actually had to pull it off since the humidity is about to drop, so I need to have my guitar in the case with a humidifier between my sessions.
I'm sorry to hear that, sir. Nothing fits everyone for sure. For me it works better on the guitar in the review compared to my Heikki Rousu guitar where it can come loose at one of the lower suction cups occasionally. I think it's because the body of this guitar is thinner, which means that it rests on my lap in a different position.

Thanks for watching! I've been using it ever since and it's really nice. 😎
What size was the Guitarlift plate that you've reviewed in the video?

That looks like an interesting design.
Indeed! It may seem a bit cumbersome at first, but when it's fixed it's like it's part of the guitar.

i never could enjoy playing the guitar for those same reasons. even at an early age, this guitar lift might help. it better because it is expensive.

VERY Agreed!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it! 😎
Hmm interesting! I use a dynarette cushion - a nice option

it squeaks a lot, i dislike it.
Suction cups I hate them and they won't last long. I have tried all supports with suction cups in this planet
