Update: NOW AVAILABLE at www.steelguitarshopper.com/pedal-steel-workstand/
This table-top pedal steel workstand was designed by Ross Shafer (of Sierra fame) exclusively for The Steel Guitar Forum. The first run is now in production, and we'll start selling them at SteelGuitarShopper.com within the next few weeks. It can be adjusted to fit any single- or double-neck pedal steel I've ever seen. The top pads extend to about 11 inches.
This picture was taken on my messy workbench, but you could just as easily flip over your guitar onto the kitchen table or even the bar at your favorite watering hole for an emergency repair.

| Looks well thought out. Are the keyhead and the changer exposed on both ends? How about a picture with a guitar-on-board. |

Yes, you can reach the keyhead and changer, and you can pluck the strings. I'll have more pictures in a week or so. My guitars are temporarily in storage (don't ask  ).

Dixie cups not included. Simple assembly required. (If you can't put this thing together, you shouldn't be working on a pedal steel guitar.)

| How do you lock the sliding rail in place? ......from underneath? |

| You loosen two bolts from underneath to slide it. Like I said, if you can't put this thing together, you shouldn't be working on a pedal steel guitar. There aren't a lot of moving parts. |

This is good-looking as well, simple, clean, and nice brand.

Hey, just what I need!--looks like my different steel brands will fit onto that! I'm laughing at myself, because I can't believe I've been working on guitars without something like this!
So, the bottom of that doesn't have legs--you just set that on top of your existing work bench?
Thanks for offering this to us! |

So, I would place the stand on the upright guitar to size the rail spacing and then tighten the bolts to fit. Then it would be ready for accepting the overturned guitar. I like it.
My current stand was built for D-10 LGs & p/p's. Works great but ShoBuds or single neck guitars require support blocks. Your design would be more accommodating. |

| Very handy. I work on guitars all the time and get tired of either laying up on it's keyhead side or flipping it back down on the strings, worried about to much string pressure on the changer. |
