Gator Frameworks GFW-GTR-SEATDLX Deluxe Guitar Seat

This chair is awesome! You can sit with perfect posture for hours.

Cette chaise pour musiciens est très mal équilibrée quelque soit la position du siège! attention a ne pas basculer en vous relevant! De plus très chère

Great chair overall; only issue is one has to be careful if you are too far to the front the chair will try to tilt forward. Other than that it’s comfy and nice to have the holder!

I’m 6 ft tall and weigh 210 pounds. I’m closer to 60 years old than 40 and I play 6 days a week for an average of 3 hours a session. I bought this stool because the common guitar and amplifier brand stools (Marshall, Fender, etc) look great in a studio but have an almost useless amount of padding. So I put this thing together in 5 minutes; no tools required. Manufacturers boxing comes with almost no padding so the box was crushed in several places upon delivery. Thankfully, product arrived unscathed but I feel lucky about that issue. Chair and backrest padding is nice and thick, but not soft so if you expect a cushion that gives right out of the box you will be disappointed. That being said this thing is built like a piece of heavy duty gym equipment so cushions might just need some breaking in. When I first sat down the chair pad was set fairly low and the moment I leaned just slightly forward the back of the chair tipped forward off the floor. Looking closely at the design, the front leg bar of the stool is set too far back for someone of smaller stature. Once I slid the chair pad up, which moves the pad back from the front leg bar, I was able to alter the weight distribution enough to counter the chair tipping, but if you are a shorter person you are going to have a problem if you lean forward. Backrest is adjustable but again, not soft, and you only have two settings with a 1 inch difference. I’ve been sitting in this chair typing this review and I’m already uncomfortable leaning back against the rest, it just doesn’t have the perfect setting for me. But when I grab a guitar and get settled in, this chair resolves most of the issues of playing on a typical logo topped guitar stool. If these cushions start to break-in I’ll be much happier. Built in guitar stand is a nice touch. If price is an issue, I’d pass on this. But if you really need a backrest and you are of average height and weight, and you play for extended periods of time, you could very well find this a great studio chair.

I got the deluxe and the regular stool with the back rest. The deluxe is definitely worth it. Returned the stool. Stools ok but feels like the seat is small and you sit up high it’s not bad just ok. But the deluxe was really nice. I like the wider seat you feel like it’s more stable than the stool and the adjustability is great. Just make the upgrade you won’t be disappointed. If you need something portable maybe the stool but otherwise just go with the deluxe. Overall the deluxe just feels more stable, comfortable, and more customizable. Also the foot rest on the deluxe is perfect compared to the regular stool. Just overall better and worth the extra price IMHO. Only drawback the seat feels a little stiff but it’s new I expect it to wear in. I still give it 5 stars.
