StewMac Body Board

Lifts the guitar up and away from benchtop clutter

Don’t let a tool-filled bench scratch the instrument you’re working on. If you use the Body Board with a bench vise, you’ll double your workspace.

More room to work in a crowded shop

Lots of elbow room: with the guitar firmly supported, you can step around it to work on both front and back. Holds the guitar topside-up, sideways or upside-down-in all positions, the no-scratch padded riser supports the body.

Lots of tool room: with the guitar held this new way, your benchtop is always free for holding tools and parts.

The most compact workstation ever

Turn a tiny patch of floor space into the hub of your workshop—mount a bench vise on a pedestal stand with the StewMac Body Board. You get a versatile, height adjustable workstation that rotates to any angle. The felt-padded riser moves horizontally and vertically to accommodate anything from a ukulele to a long-scale bass.

Reach all sides of the body better

“I’m able to reach all sides of the body better when it’s on the board. For an awesome free standing rig, I add it to the StewMac ShopStand. That gives me 360-degrees of access to my work.” —Erick Coleman, guitar repairman and StewMac tech advisor
