FIXED WORK HEIGHT
The design is based on supporting the guitar neck horizontal rather than tilted, and at a comfortable height for all instrument types. The cradle can be adjusted to obtain full seating along the neck caul for maximum stability.

SLIMLINE DESIGN
The work cradle can be integrated into a busy workspace, and when not in use, the body support can be swivelled and the cradle stowed neatly aside as a complete unit.
LESS INSTRUMENT HANDLING
Best access to the instrument is achieved by altering the cradle position rather than moving the guitar itself, thereby reducing direct handling of the guitar.
TIDIER WORKING
The design allows for tools and materials to be laid out within easy reach below the instrument.
With the guitar positioned over the main workbench and surrounding tools, cleanliness of the cradle support surfaces is easier to maintain.

CONSTRUCTION
The standalone frame is made from hand-finished oak and robust aluminium profile. The frame includes removable grooved rubber steady pads.

NECK CAUL WITH FULL FELT COVERING
The cradle features a 250 mm (10") long neck caul with a raised height of 200 mm. The rounded shoulders cushion the neck shape for narrow or wide neck profiles. The soft felt covering extends to the outer edges, providing additional protection for the neck when placing the guitar onto the caul.

UNIVERSAL GUITAR BODY REST
The guitar body rest profile is shaped with a 15' radius to provide support for curved guitar backs, while the flat outer sections are designed for use with solid body electric guitars.

LARGE INSTRUMENT RANGE
Guitar body depths from dreadnought to slim solid bodies are accommodated by utilising the spacing blocks underneath the rest height adjustment block.

SETUP
The support height is adjusted until the neck is seated along the caul. The support is secured with the manual locking ring. (A special wrench is included for access beneath larger guitar bodies.)
