GUITAR BENCHREST / CRADLE - For Guitar Maintenance, Setups & Repairs
Updated: Sep 1
FIXED WORK HEIGHT
The cradle supports the guitar neck horizontal, at a comfortable height for all instrument types.
SLIMLINE DESIGN
It can be integrated into a busy workspace, and when not in use, the body rest can be swivelled and the cradle stowed neatly aside as a complete unit.
LESS INSTRUMENT HANDLING
Good access all around can be achieved by repositioning the cradle instead of the guitar itself, which reduces direct handling of the instrument.
TIDIER WORKING
The raised design allows for tools and materials to be laid out within reach below the instrument and makes it easier to keep the support surfaces clear of dust and other debris.
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
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 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 rest height is adjusted until the neck is seated along the caul.
The body rest adjustment screw is secured with the hand tightened locking ring.
A special wrench is included for access beneath larger guitar bodies - see photo above.
