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 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.
No issues.
This support is just what I needed. Easy to use and comfortable.
Overall I have been very happy with the Umbra guitar support and any issues I've had along the way are likely user-error. I just purchased my second, the short version, and am very happy with it as it seems to be a much better height range for my Taylor Grand Auditorium guitars. I switched to using the standard height one only with my GS Mini. As my 3 main guitars are all satin finish, the suction cup rests were not compatible, so I was very happy to find a guitar rest that used magnets instead. Ultimately, I think I prefer this anyway, because it's so quick on and off and very reliable when used properly. It's also much more stable and consistent than the cushion-style rest I used previously. In the end, it does exactly what I needed it to do, put the guitar into a more ergonomic position and keep it stable for better, more consistent playing, and eliminating the injuries I was getting before using a rest. The only issues I've had with the rest slipping have been resolved by using the shorter version with my larger guitars, adjusting the magnet positioning so the force is in line with the legs, and using good posture to not put excessive pressure on the guitar.
