I just got two weeks ago my first of these, the one with wood, to support a new classical guitar handmade in Germany by Armin Hanike. The Sageworks is as beautiful as shown in the site’s photographs. Maybe most important for buyers is the function. It also is as I expected. I had a scare with installation, but it was my own fault, I assume. The magnets adhere, as you can tell, by special sticky tape, and my lower magnet had come halfway loose right away. I couldn’t hear it banging around, but the attraction was weak and made the unit unstable. I had already figured it out when they (quickly) replied to my service request. So service seems to be excellent and personal. I nicely forget about the support when playing. This replaces the foot stool and is a much more solid feeling in posture and so forth. Look at my photos for a tip on clipping a tuner to it. Yes, it picks up the vibrations well and is right there to see by a glance downward instead of way up at the headstock which is high when playing with correct classical posture.

This sturdy, reliable support is very good value for the money. It stays in place and does not dig into the leg. The player has a straight spine and maintains a comfortable position. The support is fully adjustable, but keeps its set up position well.

I am owner of the plastic version - works well and wanted to buy the wood version which looks great and works great too.

I use this on my right leg for flamenco guitar.
Keeps my guitar in the right position and reduces strain on my back.
Installation was easier than I thought it would be.

The Best guitar support ever.
Thanks sagework

As far as I know this is the only support that works if you cannot use suction cups or the Murata support. It is stable and robust, yet flexible to adjust for different playing positions. I was a little worried about the installation, but it turned out to be quite simple.

After a little difficulty installing the Sagework Umbra Support I like it alot! The magnets are strong! Purchased the standard size and had to remove the lower bout sliding arm to go directly to the leg rest. After that and some adjustment to find my sweet spot it's great! I'm currently looking to upgrade my classical guitar and the Sagework Support will definitely be installed. I prefer this over a footstool!

Now I’m sad. I’ve had this on my guitar for weeks and really liked it. At some point, unbeknownst to me, one of the magnets came off and when I picked up my guitar to play the loose magnet rolled close enough to the one still attached and slammed into it. Now I have a cracked guitar, so that’s kind of put a damper on my evening.

Review update:
I heard back from the luthier in regards to the crack on my guitar. The issue was not the 3M strips themselves, but rather that the unfinished mahogany inside of my guitar, a Martin 000C12-16E Nylon in case anyone is wondering and has the same guitar, did not provide a suitable surface for good adhesion as it wasn’t smooth enough. After leaving my review, Geoff reached out to me and after verifying I followed the correct steps during installation he offered to cover the cost of repair or replacement of the guitar. He has stayed in communication with me while waiting for my guitar to be repaired and went above and beyond in terms of support and customer service. I let Geoff know what the luthier said and also informed him that since the issue was ultimately caused by the surface of the guitar itself that I did not think Sagework should have any responsibility to cover any of the cost. Despite that, he still refunded the full cost of the support to help cover the repair (which only came out to $200 anyways) and mentioned that he should add a warning in regards to checking the smoothness of the interior body. The luthier said that if he puts a little bit of lacquer inside that I should not have this issue again, so I had him go ahead and do so. I will be picking up my guitar this week and will be reinstalling the support. As far as functionality, the support works wonders in keeping the guitar in the perfect playing position without the need for foot stools or uncomfortable sitting positions. 10/10 support from Sagework and Geoff on this.

I have had my rest for about 3 weeks now on both my guitars and couldn’t be happier. Easy install and very comfortable for hour sessions. It’s a little more spendy than my other braces, but well worth the money. I should have cried once! Ha! Great product!

Easy to install; watch those magnets though! They’ll snap together like a mousetrap-pinched my finger despite warning in box. I’ve been having issues with my left hip due to footstand and hoping this will help. Wish I’d tried it way sooner

No issues.

This guitar support is very well made and nicely packaged. Communication from the company was excellent and delivery was prompt. In my opinion, it is worth the money spent!

Easy to install. Works like a dream

I have tried several different types of support for my classical guitar. The Sagework Guitar Support is, without a doubt, the best one I have used. It is comfortable, doesn't slip, and is adjustable to my needs. Excellent!!

I am getting used to the support but my back is not complaining like it was with a foot stool. The only problem I had is that the lower magnet fell off after a couple of weeks. I put it back with the last remaining adhesive strip.
