Guitar chord forum - chordie → Guitars and accessories → Recommendation: Which Guitar Support Could Be Better For Me?
Because of back problem, I am planning to buy one of the guitars supports below:
a. ErgoPlay Tappert Classical Guitar Support (http://tinyurl.com/luhjbwo)
b. A-Frame Guitar Support (Link: http://tinyurl.com/nqfr9sq)
c. Dynarette Guitar Cushion (http://tinyurl.com/os75rr4)
Has anybody purchased one of those guitar supports? Any recommendation?
Hi Barbara, and Welcome to the Chordie Forums!
I also have spine problems, but have not had to use one of these yet..... and as I play an Ovation that there is no way to stick any kind of suction cup to anyway, am getting by nicely with a proper strap. I did find this blog article that brings up some good points that might be useful to you in your shopping. With a little patience there is a high likelyhood that one of our members will drop by with some first hand experience to relate.

Thanks for posting and Welcome!

I have never seen one of these devices before and like doug I also play an ovation the light weight and bowl body make for a comfortable play when used with a strap .
Never heard of these things. Interesting. Not sure if I would want to use something with suction cups. Like Grah says. You can get different positions when using the strap. Even sitting down.
The center a frame looks like a good choice,I think you should go too a guitar shop and try some out if you can.
I know there are plenty out there as rock guys use them all the time switching between electric and acoustic,, but they are for standing.
I played on an a frame throughout my music studies in college. It was really, really comfortable.
Welcome to Chordie, Barbara!
If getting your guitar higher is the issue, a simple small wooden box or step like the classical guitarists use might solve the problem, and your thigh would then be higher to hold your guitar at the right place:
For eliminating the guitar weight altogether, this gadget made by Viking Guitar Stands might do the trick. It screws on to a mike stand, and you can just slide your chair up to it and play, without having to hold the weight of the guitar at all:
There's another version made by MBrace, but I looked at one a while back, and it seemed flimsy to me.
