The Planet Waves Guitar Rest seems like such a simple idea that I can’t believe no one else thought of this sooner. The Guitar Rest is a piece of molded rubber that you can put on any flat surface that you want to rest your guitar against. For example, in my music room I have a desk that I’ll sometimes rest my guitar up against. This can be a bit dangerous though, because it’s a slick surface and the guitar sometimes slides around. The Guitar Rest solves that problem.
Jon Bloomer recently demoed the Guitar Rest to give you an idea of what it can do:
A creative concept but a guitar stand still seems to be the best and safer solution. This product requires having an amp or some other stable object at the right height and even then, the guitar body sits on floor.
Hey Ed, I think you’re right. A guitar stand’s still going to be more stable and safer. However, I think something like would be useful for temporary storage…definitely better than just leaning the guitar up against a table or an amp. The nice thing about something like this is you can put it in a gig bag and just keep it with you in case a need ever arises.
You make a convincing argument, Josh. Carrying one along in a gig bag makes sense.
Good idea, but looks bad. Looks weird attached to the cabinet. However, I can definitely see the use for this.
