Cheap Classical Guitar Supports

A review of cheap generic guitar supports purchased off amazon for $30. Both had serious problems and are not recommended. The supports I look at are generic brands found on Amazon:

I’d be curious to try more and will post more here if I do. This Milisten might have a better fastener for example.

If you want a good guitar support here are some ideas

See my full article of various Reviews of Guitar Supports. From suction cups, to clamps, to magnets there is a guitar support for everyone. At home I use the ErgoPlay Troster.

  • Voyager from Le Support – This is the support I’ve mainly be using these days, but I also like the pro model which is bigger. This is my new personal favourite.
  • ErgoPlay Guitar Support – I use the Tröster model and recommend this as a first support for lots of students.
  • Guitarlift – Guitarlift started the back mounted supports and they are great. Good and super solid, fits more sizes and positions of players than Le Support. I actually recommend this support quite often. I use the “Ultimate model, Matte Black”
  • Woodside Guitar Support – Clamp System (no suction cups), highly adjustable, great solution.

  1. Where did you get your additional suction cups? I have a Guitarlift, but the suction cups seem to be getting weak after about 2 years and I’d love to replace them.

    • For the Guitarlift you can order replacement parts via their site or store like Strings by Mail. You can order cheap ones on Amazon but the size and appropriate type is the variable.

  2. After watching all of the videos on the different Guitar supports and comparing to others on Amazon, and having a small guitar support which I do not like, I went ahead and purchased the ErgoPlay Troster because compared to the others you demonstrated, the price was in the middle at $80. Now, I am just awaiting its delivery from Amazon to enjoy learning again. Thank you for all of the many video helps.

  3. I have an actual Ergoplay. Within a month of using it, the rubber pad that is glued to the support (where it rests on my leg) started coming unglued. I wrapped it with some duct tape, and it has been good for a couple years now. Have you ever encountered that issue with Ergoplays? Maybe I just got a faulty one.
