Sagework Guitar Support Installation Guide | Guitar Supports | NBN Guitar

[@nbnguitar]

Kia ora koutou! The Atlas guitar support from Sagework can seem intimidating to install but the truth is it may take you around 10 - 20 minutes to do this and that includes removing or loosening your strings. Enjoy and be sure to watch my review of this amazing support that caused me to throw my foot stool away (figuratively speaking). Let your fingers fly!

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

[@geoff3725]

I have more than one guitar and of course one only needs one support for all.However do need to buy more magnets.I am pleased to say that to organise another guitar to accept the support (loosening strings,positioning magnets etc)only took 20 minutes.My support is now readily transferred from one guitar to another.A great product and thank you Josh for your video.

[@nbnguitar]

That's awesome. 20 minutes - great job. I think it took me quite a bit longer than that to do mine. Are you enjoying using the support? I wouldn't be without mine anymore.

[@VictorKoval]

I have been using the ErgoPlay support for years. He suits me. This magnet idea is interesting. But there are a few things to note. 1. Installing a magnet in the body of the instrument can cause overtones and change in tone. But many people already install boxes from the pickup. 2. Humidity fluctuations can cause magnets to peel off, as they write about here. If you have a guitar with a matte finish or French lacquer this is a godsend. Thanks for the review.

[@nbnguitar]

Thanks for sharing your insights Victor. I can say I've been using mine for years and I've never had an issue. If the magnets do affect the tone, I haven't noticed it.

[@stevew585]

Thanks for this Josh, this looks really good. I have tried many suction cup type supports, after a while during playing they just fall off, so irritating I gave up with them and went back to the foot stool.

[@nbnguitar]

@@stevew585 my pleasure Steve. Have you tried one of these though? They’re far better than the suction-type supports IMHO.

[@comfywomfy]

I said to myself I wasn’t going to watch this until I received mine but I couldn’t resist 😬 thanks for this man, I’m normally crap at things like this so this will help loads 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Stay safe big guy.

[@nbnguitar]

Haha totally understandable. I've been in contact with Geoff and there was a wee mixup but all is sorted. I do believe that your awesome new support is on its way! Stay safe too

[@comfywomfy]

joshua rogers Wonderful news 👏🏻😬 Thanks Josh I really appreciate it. Take care mate.

[@blahdiblah2169]

I just got mine yesterday and installed it using this method. I'll use it for a while before giving some kind of definitive review. First glance though it seems pretty decent and safe. However unlike an ergoplay which has a soft foam pad where it touches your leg, this one is far firmer and is uncomfortable in shorts or thin silky fabric. By uncomfortable I mean it cuts into your leg a bit. This problem could be solved by installing an aftermarket foam trim on the bottom and I might still do this. But I typically play in jeans anyways, if I'm seriously practicing just to avoid slip, and in jeans it's fine and doesn't feel like it's cutting into the leg.

[@nbnguitar]

Nice. I hope it works out for you and the foam trim is a good idea because the original is is quite firm. I wouldn't be without mine anymore :)

[@blahdiblah2169]

@@nbnguitar Yeah I need some realistic play time. Since installing it yesterday and changing strings I haven't had a chance to have a good play sessions. But I'll know immediately after having had that play session and I'll let you know.

[@MrJDWillard]

The absolute BEST i love them i bought 3 for my three fav guitars

[@nbnguitar]

@@MrJDWillard that’s great to hear. Actually, I need a few more too because my collection has expanded significantly since I posted this video!

[@felipe-jz9zm]

great demo, thanks. The Ergo play is already a great deal, and cheapper, but sometimes (every 2 , 3 o 4 songs maybe in my case..) one of the sucker(few months of use) goes out, and if you're recording , you can hear it.. I think i'll go for the sagework, it seems to me to be the best option on the market , if you accept the higher price, and you still have to pay a bit more for your second guitare.

[@nbnguitar]

You are welcome Felipe. I haven't tried the Ergo, but from feedback I've received from other players it seems that the Sagework is the best out there.

[@PedroDias-hj2jy]

I used this method but the lower magnet is a bit tilted... The support feels comfortable either way but I was wondering if this is ok..?

[@nbnguitar]

If it’s comfortable it’s good!

[@christofinb]

I like a support to be at the rear end of the guitar, so I can place the guitar on the right leg, I suspect that this support wouldn’t allow me to do that because of the installation would be to difficult ? Ironic that the majority of guitarists play of the the right leg (only classical play of the left) and the many of the the high profile supports don’t allow for that, the ergo play doesn’t go low enough. Great video though very informative, seems to be the best support on the market to play in that way.

[@nbnguitar]

It’s the best one I’ve used that’s for sure :)

[@danielrennie8444]

Do you think the internal magnets could negatively affect a pickup or any electronics your guitar might have? Thanks!

[@danielrodriguezv]

Thanks for sharing. In your experience, after some use, have this scratched the wood inside/outside the guitar?

[@nbnguitar]

No scratches at all (on the outside at least) after three to four years of regular use.

[@danielrodriguezv]

@@nbnguitar Thank you for answering, it's very much appreciated!

[@monicapoynter7299]

Thank you for posting this. Very helpful.

You're very welcome Monica!

[@jessjulian4502]

This was very helpful thank you!

[@nbnguitar]

You’re welcome Jess. Are you using one now?

[@PedroDias-hj2jy]

One magnet came off... :( with the adhesive. I even left it with the support on for 2 hours

[@nbnguitar]

Oh that's a bummer Pedro. Mine's been on for over 3 years and it is as good as they day I installed it (same day as this video actually). You must've received a faulty unit. Have you been in contact with the Sagework team?

[@PedroDias-hj2jy]

@@nbnguitar it could have been something with the dust. It did not have in the area I applied it to though... I did, no we wait.. :)

[@fitstoic1329]

how do you determine what size to get it comes in 3 different sizes

[@nbnguitar]

It comes in 3 sizes? Wow I had no idea! Things must've deepened their product line since I made this review. If it were me I'd contact Sagework directly and give them the make & model of your guitar. By doing so they may be able to determine the best choice for your guitar.

[@felipe-jz9zm]

2years after, but i answer for other people, it comes minimum in two sizes, 'short' and 'tall', and they sell also separately the only part that make the difference between the two. So you can switch (but that part costs around 30e). And you have to try one to know which one is ok for you, but most of the time, the size of the guitarist should be the answer. The official website 'sagework' maybe give that answer.

[@abhisek-chatterjee]

Joshua,I cant find your Hotel california cover and lesson video...I am in need of those videos..Can you please check out what happened?

[@nbnguitar]

They've been blocked by the publishing company that owns the rights to Hotel California. I need to come up with about US$4,500 to have them unblocked.

[@abhisek-chatterjee]

Okay sir...Anyway,I love your videos and I get help from them a lot.. thanks

[@sarfaraz433]

i appreciate the videos you make joshua, we wouldn't know the things going on in the background unless you told us. things you have to deal with. thank you. i love your videos. huge respect for sharing

[@UlyssesAlexandreAlves]

Should we put it on the left or on the right leg?

[@nbnguitar]

Ulysses I suppose that depends upon our own preference. Usually if you're right-handed you would place it on your left leg and vice versa.

[@UlyssesAlexandreAlves]

joshua rogers Got it. Thanks

[@santanunath2795]

hey buddy why did remove that hotel California guitar lessons video

[@nbnguitar]

+Santanu Nath Those videos were blocked by the license owners. I have to pay US$4,500 to have them unblocked

Awesome !!!

[@nbnguitar]

Cheers Cristian! Happy NY!

[@joaquim02]

If you have a pacemaker or ICD (implanted cardioverter defibrillator), you should be very careful about using this guitar support. In fact, the magnets may cause a malfunction of the pacemaker or ICD, putting your life in danger.

[@nbnguitar]

Thanks for sharing this info Joaquim.

[@snowfiresunwind]

They mention that in the installation manual..

[@jelink22]

I watched this video right up until you tore off that red strip to put the adhesive on the magnet---and then raced off to do the installation. I figured I had all the info I needed. I installed the magnets and supports OK, but wondered...what is holding the magnets to the guitar? Mutter, mutter to myself.....So I re-checked the printed instructions and saw a reference to the "black covering of the adhesive strip", and realized I was too dumb to understand that referred to the black/white covering of a double-sided adhesive strip. Then I watched the video again, and...this time...I saw that you jumped from taking the red strip off to directly installing the magnet WITHOUT showing you taking off the black/white strip beforehand! But had I watched the entire vid I would have seen that you did show removing the second b/w strip before installing the second magnet. So damn my impatience for not watching the whole thing in the first place. DERP! Making idiot-proof instructions is not as easy as it seems, sez I, the idiot. (I later realized that some picture hanging fixtures use the same adhesive, to allow their removal without taking off the wall paint and drywall beneath). Finally: it's a great product. Supports with suction cups ---at least for me--just sucked.

[@nbnguitar]

Haha mate, this is so common in the world today i.e. impatience…watch to the end :)

[@ArashAhmadiGuitar]

That's a good idea but too much of a hassle. One should remove strings each time an adjustments is needed.

[@nbnguitar]

As long as you set the magnets in the right place initially you shouldn't need to move them around because the support itself has several different place where it can be adjusted. Also, you don't have to completely remove the strings if you don't want to. One can simply loosen them to provide enough hand space.
