GUITAR WORKSTAND WITH NECK CAUL & BODY SUPPORT – Acoustic & Solid Body Guitars
Dispatch Time for this product is 2-weeks.
The guitar neck is supported 200mm above the bench top at a comfortable working height. The narrow base of the stand will free up space on the workbench for safe organising of tools and materials close to the guitar. The elevated guitar supporting surfaces are less prone to harbouring dust and debris.

WORKSTAND FRAME
The workstand frame comprises of a solid oak base with round aluminium support pads at each end. The pads have a ribbed underside for stability and are secured to the base with quick change connections that allow for easy removal and direct clamping of the base to a bench top if required. The frame has two sturdy aluminium posts that support the neck caul. The setup is robust providing stability for fretting jobs.
FIXED HEIGHT NECK CAUL
The design is based around a fixed height neck caul with adjustment of the guitar body height to suit. This provides consistent support height of the guitar neck for acoustic and electric instruments.
The caul is 250mm (10") long, made from hardwood and covered with soft cork. The caul features a ‘C shape profile for locating the guitar neck. The shallow profile centralises the neck whilst maintaining good access at the sides of the fretboard.
OPTION #1 – BASIC/ACOUSTIC GUITAR WORKSTAND
The basic guitar workstand includes the universal guitar body support attachment.
UNIVERSAL GUITAR BODY SUPPORT
The universal guitar body support is covered with firm neoprene foam. The support features a shallow concave shape for the guitar back to rest onto.
Fine adjustment of height is made by rotating the support pad on the central screw to bring the guitar neck horizontal along the caul. Guitar body sizes from dreadnought through to slim solid bodies are accommodated by utilising the oak spacing blocks and inserting these underneath the screw block assembly as required.
The universal support is suitable for most guitars. For optimum stiffness underneath solid body guitars, options #2 or #3 provide an alternative solution.
OPTION #2 – SOLID BODY GUITAR WORKSTAND
This option includes the solid body guitar support attachment. It is recommended where optimum support is required directly underneath the heel/neck join and for solid body guitars with prominent neck angles as the system employs an angular adjustment feature.
SOLID BODY GUITAR SUPPORT
Both height and angle of the body support are adjustable via independent screw jacks. Adjustment is made by turning each screw until the body angle is found and the neck is seated along the caul. The unit is locked in position via clamp knobs on each post.
The support can be mounted on the workstand base in either direction. The platform is offset and this alters the proximity of the support board relative to the neck caul. The platform should be positioned close to the caul when maximum support under the heel is required.
OPTION #3 – MODULAR GUITAR WORKSTAND
The modular guitar workstand incorporates both universal and solid body guitar supports. The guitar supports are interchangeable on the base-frame.
