To classical guitarists: What's your opinion on guitar foot stools and other guitar supports?

Which ones are the best for your back?


Answer
hi

Nothing dumb about footstool for krist sake. Classical Professionals even use them in concert.

The idea of the footstool is to give you the correct height and you don't have to cross your leg to raise your guitar. As far as the other support like a guitar-stand in playing position, Yngwie Malsteem and others use this stand because some of their songs start slowly. So uit allows them to push the electric to one side of the body and play the classical already prepared in playing position.

As for your back, its obvious that the sitting down position is the most widely used although a classic nylong guitar is light in weight. I have used one type that hooks to the soundhole from the underside. It is like a saxophone cord resting around your neck, except, it is for guitar. That actually worked very well and have used this a few time. It is adjustable to whatever height you want and it doesn't hinder any movement whatsoever.
