I haven’t traveled with my #1 travel guitar. Stupid right? I only bought and sold four other guitars before selling off three of them. I grabbed my 2000 Steinberger Spirit the last several work trips.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t sure how to (best) solve my little problem: The Arbor slides a bit off the lap sitting. The Steinberger Spirit solves this with Ned’s clever and patented flip out kickstand.<\/p>\n

I got adhesive velcro strips awhile back, but kept trying to think where to get a cheap solid block of plastic. Only in the past 10 days or so did an idea dawn on me! Decking! Like the Trex et al types.<\/p>\n

I sourced a small piece of it lying in my garage that two years ago I had cut up to make a custom window sill for a free window I got on craigslist and framed a new hole for over my garage. <\/p>\n

I got back to my parents place where I had scrounged this 12′ long extra Trex decking… and chopped a little triangle off it. Then up in Vermont I mocked up and custom measured and cut and filed several times before settling on this ‘shark fin’ looking type of thing.<\/p>\n

It’s tapered to follow the body shape. And VOILA! This guitar just sits perfectly balanced comfortably on my leg now. I’d dare say even better \/ more comfortable than my Steinberger Spirit!<\/p>\n

Now to just start a little business haha!<\/p>\n
