Planet Waves Guitar Rest

There’s not a whole lot to say about this product. It’s great, works as advertised. Makes changing strings and maintenance on your guitars easy and more enjoyable! Highly recommended as part of your guitar upkeep regiment. I did also get their string winder/cutter combo tool, that thing is amazing as well. (Side note: This purchase made me curious about their strings, I’ve always used Ernie Balls my whole career, so I switched to their 80/20 XLs I think (white package) for my acoustic and electric and they’re amazing!! I’ll never buy any other brand of strings). Back to the product, it’s foldable, lightweight and compact. Can be stored anywhere for easy convenience! What is nice is it adds a layer of protection and stability while you’re working on your axe. Ever tried doing this without a neck rest or block? Guitar starts sliding around, you’re trying to balance it on your lap or something. Strings flying around, sticks in your eye and now you need to go to the ER….well because you didn’t have a neck rest. BUY THIS!!

I received one as a gift a few years ago. Since then, I find them very useful - and surprisingly stable. I trust my Les Paul to one. As you may know those are notorious for broken headstock. These make a great temporary rest for any guitar!

This is a very handy little gadget, it keeps the guitar right beside at the computer and it keeps it safe from being knocked over, it holds very well to whatever it fastens onto, can't speak much on the quality of it just yet, but it seems decent enough for being all plastic...Rumble Road Records

This device allows any surface to turn into a workbench for your guitar. That's basically all it does. It breaks down and fits in a bag. They last forever. It's a good value for the money. It's a stable device that looks good in your guitar case.

No more pillows. No more big blocks, taking up space when not in use. This thing is is perfect. It folds up to this size of a fat cigar, and holds the guitar neck at a great angle. Easy to clean, change strings, adjust the neck, pickups, you name it. Brilliant design .. get yourself one, you won't regret it.

I've got a wall full of guitars and as such, it's inconvenient to have to return a guitar to its stand - which may be on the other side of the room - every time I want to set it down for a minute. This thing is nice, I just clamp it to the edge of my desk and it serves as a great place to lean my guitar against and not have to worry about it moving or being damaged. Me desk is of course horizontal, but the end of this thing rotates and sort of locks into place at the 90 degree (as well as 45 degree) angles so you could attach it to a vertical or even diagonal edge.It's made out of plastic so if you gave it a good hard smack I imagine it would break, but for normal use around the house it should hold up well. Another neat feature is that the "C" shaped thing that cradles the neck can be folded down when not in use, so it stays out of the way.As you can see in the pictures, there are two rubber arms which are supposed to go around the guitar's neck. They're a bit long and tend to just fold back behind the neck (on the picture with the bass I pulled them out myself). I suppose if you wanted to you could just clip them off a bit shorter so they would snap into place by themselves.

It's all preference, but it does not function very well for changing strings. It walked, rotated, flipped a few times, it's just too light and unstable for anything but a quick need. I'd probably just dangle my headstock off the edge of a counter before I would use this. I absolutely will not be putting my 79' LPC on this to change strings. I ordered a more substantial cradle.Good: It's extremely portable and will work in a pinch.Bad: In my opinion I would not use it if you value your instrument. I don't even use floor stands except for temp holding when I'm in the process of playing. My guitars stay in the case when not being played. So, maybe I am a little more critical than the next dude, but I can't imagine how I would feel when it flips sideways, as I am trying to wind a string on my LPC, and it cracking the headstock. I would be devastated; it's irreplaceable.So, my acoustic was a bitch to string with this, it kept moving (maybe because the acoustic is inherently fairly light in weight?) so, not much pressure on the tripod. hmm... maybe, but should that have been taken in effect when designing it? so, what IS it really useful for? Clearly not me, but I'll keep it for an emergency in the acoustic case. It did work, but I lost control of the guitar at least 3 times while trying to wind with it -the stand moved or tilted. It was quite frustrating.

Very simple product, yet accomplishes a needed task, and does it perfect. Glad to have stumbled upon this product.
