What guitar stool would you recommend?

[sickindian]

Hello,

I'm looking for comfortable guitar stool as mine just broke ;/(it was a cheap one). I'm looking to get one that will support your bottom without pain after 40 minutes. I remember that Yek have bought one but it was quite expensive yet i'd like to get as many opinions as possible because tweaking takes some time with my Axe .

Rather than a stool, you might want to consider an armless "task chair". Most office supply stores sell them in the $100 range, unless you go nuts and buy a Steelcase or something.

I did a quick Google search under "guitar (chair,stool)" and there many options from cheap to extremely expensive. It really depends (beyond your budget, of course) on what you use the chair for... do you need foot support, ease of transport, want a back rest, etc. I've used everything from folding chairs to drum thrones with varying levels of success. I currently have two chairs from Ikea that work well in my studio because they have no sides and are wider than bar stools and have a bar for your feet so your upper leg is semi-level to hold a guitar, but they are unpadded and get uncomfortable after a bit.

I've been using a padded keyboard bench. I think it's this one: http://www.zzounds.com/item--MUPKT7800

I use my old drum throne. *LOL* Works for me.

I have this after going through 4-5 chairs over the years and this chair with the tempru-pedic seat is by far the best I've ever had.

I just didn't install the right arm. I use it for guitar, studio tracking, drum throne and I can sit for hours and never feel like I have.

This. The one I have allows the seat to be angled a bit forward which helps with posture. In addition I use a car cushion wedge that has a U-shaped wedge cut-out. This cut-out eliminates the infamous movie theater seat squirm.

Just get a nice drum throne. I use a task chair but I can tell I'm going to need to replace it soon.

I bought one of these 12 years ago and it's one the best gear purchases I've ever made.

you could get The Guitar Chair, but it's expensive. Works great though.

The great thing about roc n soc is you configure it to your liking. Doesn't hurt that they are super durable and comfortable.

I've been thinking about getting one of these to replace a recliner in the den. I sit with electric guitars in a classical style seating position with left leg propped up. I hope it works well for this. Only one way to find out I suppose :encouragement:

I'm a "task chair" fan as well, though the pricing range is vast.

Staples has office chairs with removable arms. I have one. Very comfy. A pillow works great for back support.

I just bought one of those computer chairs without arms today from ikea. It's $39 on sale. Comfy enough

I looked up the guitar chair and I was thinking of something else. I like this guitar chair you speak of, expensive, but worth trying.
