The Guitarlift has revolutionized classical guitar supports since it’s release. The back-mounted support works on a wider variety of guitar than most other supports and offers unprecedented levels of secure and stable guitar positioning. Never before has a guitar support been so quickly accepted and used by both professional and general guitarists on stage and off. I admit, when it was first released the size caused me hesitation but once you try it, that becomes a distant and fading consideration. In this article I’ll review a few of the Guitarlift models as well as offer other considerations and comparisons at the end.
Summary: The Guitarlift is my most recommended professional level guitar support. It’s ease of use, stability, adjustability on almost any guitar or person, as well as the trusty back mounted suction cups make it a guitar support that I use and recommend without any hesitation. It simply checks all the boxes.
Models: One for All, Ultimate Black Matte Line, Premium Transparent Line, Professional Line, Young Student Line, and Silent Guitar Line.
Sizes Across Model Lines: Super Big, Big, Medium, Medium Long, Slender, Half, Crossover, Small, XS, Mini, Cutaway, Silent
The newer One for All model is a fantastic evolution of the Guitarlift lineup. It’s made from 6mm thick transparent Perspex® which they describe as a “modern and extremely durable tempered acrylic glass, which is even more stable than the 4mm Plexiglas® of the Professional-Line models.” I found this to be true, it’s incredibly rigid and torsion resistant compared to the Professional Line which I already considered quite stable. I also appreciate the anti-reflective matte black coating which really places the guitar in the forefront.

If you had to choose between the Le Support or the Lift – which would you choose? Great review btw
Does anyone know where to buy this in Canada? I have not found anywhere online. Thanks for the review, Bradford.
i already hate bringing my guitarlift everywhere idk if i’d want to spend an extra 100 dollars or whatever on something that’s impossible to stick on my case. but dang those germans really do know how to engineer
Great review, thank yoiu. Do you position the adjustable piece after you stick the guitar to the 3 suction cups, or can you pivot the guitar into place without moving the adjustable piece.
I was very impressed by the extremely steep angle of your guitar. I tried to copy that but it caused a lot of strain on the shoulder and neck muscles.
I have a guitar finished with nitrocellulose lacquer. Do suction cups leave marks when used?
So are there different levels models whatever of these guitar lifts which one would you recommend? I imagine it would be the one you've got their which is the most expensive " strings by mail" are selling them for $169.99 which is a hell of a lot of money as far as I'm concerned. On what if you buy it and don't like it?
I'm simply glad to have gotten the last $8 TUOREN support on amazon with 3 suctions cups and a strip of leather, was all I needed to get going, the suction cups haven't fallen off, over a month now.
Having heard all the hype about this support I bought one from the only place in Canada that sells it. I was having a lot of back pain playing and I was assured that this would fix the problem. So, after getting one from Quebec I spent the next week trying to find the perfect position for the guitarlift. Putting the guitar in the position I prefer and have been using for decades, the guitarlift pushed the guitar away from my body. The result was to play the guitar my wrist was at an acute angle that caused severe pain. Continued use would obviously result in permanent injury. So, I have $150 worth of useless plastic sitting on my bookshelf gathering dust. Be care of the hype and try before you buy.
Would it work on a parlor size guitar?
You have 4 suction cups, you added one extra? The All-for-one on the website has only 3 suction cups. I thought right away that an extra cup will be much more stable.
In my humble (yet many people say lovable) opinion, nothing beats the "Le Support" made in France. I've been using it for a few months now and don't see me every going back to anything else (including anything by Guitarlift). I love the way the Le Support contacts both legs. It's just so unbelievably stable. I would liken it to sitting down at a grand piano rather than an electric piano on a flimsy stand.
A friend recommended Guitar Lift to me about 5 years back, couldn't imagine life without it now!
I live in a dry climate, so I like to humidify my guitar in its case every night which would mean more wear on the suction cups of the GuitarLift. I've been using a Murata for many years. The leg support detaches with a wing nut, the cradle stays on the instrument, and it fits in the case. Sorry, but I'm still wary of suction cups.
I am new to the guitar lift idea and in full disclosure I am not a classical player. But I love my nylon string guitars for Jazz, Bossa Nova and an occasional classical piece. Can someone answer a couple of "beginner questions"? Do the suction cups add any risk to the French polish finish? Also, do lifts add much risk of scratching the instrument?
Thanks, John

I have the impression that the traditional professional large model can lift the neck side of the guitar higher that the new One for All. Is that correct?
It looks so ugly though!!
I know they have a model for the silent guitar, but does this model work on the yamaha silent guitar? could you use the suction cups for the silent guitar on the `one for all`? thanx
