Thread: Guitar body vise ?? -- What do you use

Look here for a pipeclamp guitarjig thing:

the whole thread is interesting too.

Have a look at Sylvan Wells' website for the pipe clamp guitar holder http://www.wellsguitars.com/Articles/Guitar_Holder.htm I built one of these and they work great. Best of all you can demount it from your bench when you aren't using it.

here's my set up. No way near as classy as both of those links! It took me about half an hour to rig up, several years ago now, and has served its purpose well. That box shaped one looks pretty nice though!

My vice is more low tech....a piece of padded MDF held to bench with cam clamps. Once you find four people to help you line it up it works fine.

Thanks again guys for the "quick" replies and help.

Looks like I have something else to build....

Cheers

I went down to Carba Tec and picked up a couple of cheap Pipe clamps -
($15.00 each), a couple of bits of pipe and flanges ($10.00 the lot) (complete hardware)

NOTE: Bunnings - Would have cost about $35.00 fot the pipe etc, if they had the flanges...

So now to stick it together!

I thought I would post the pic of the Vice.It works like a dream - Cost only about $60.00



This is the Guitar Vice .



Her is what its for.
