I must have one...

Sandy, thank you for my New Years present. This is perfect!

Excellent! Glad to hear that it got there on schedule. Happy New Year to you and the family!

The problem with bean bags is that they don't elevate the headstock of the guitar enough, although I suppose you could put something under the bean bag. This is even more of a concern with slot heads.

With motivation and basic sewing skills I suspect that could be dealt with but probably not worth the effort...

Did somebody say neck rest?

I'm another one who has been using my lap for years, and still do. Effective and cheap!

Luckily, I still have a lap...

For routine string changes, cleaning and minor maintenance, I use a thick bath towel on the kitchen table and a Planet Waves Guitar Headstand. The neckrest folds to fit easily in my guitar toolkit. For work that requires more force or movement, a sandbag wrapped with a hand towel gives steadier neck support.

Very cool, guys.

I'm ordering some strings to get going on some changes now using my Hercules stand (thanks, Sandy!).

Al, now really....

Al, now really....

Yep, really. I've always been fond of teeny tripods.

Ah, now I see. I'll just warm myself by this tiny tripod until more veers comes out of the woods.

That's more for a neck reset.

 

[chazmo]

Bwahahahah!!! Yes, indeed. The world's cheapest (and most extreme) neck reset!

 

[chazmo]

Well, 8 12-string sets are on their way from Strings & Beyond.

Time for some TLC for the herd when they come in and time to use my new neck stand (non-guillotine model).

Reset in a bucket.

I seem to remember something like this now that I think about it.

And you are almost spot on!
I have pictures of my Orpheum 12 string prototoype in the NH factory resting on the "Protektor #14 Bunny Ear Rear Bag". (Bunny Ear, not the Rabbit Ear one).
Exactly this type with the logo:

That matches my memory quite well. Thank you.
