Default Soundstage guitar seats

Am looking to order one of these and from the website they look great, Kinda pricey but you get what you pay for I guess.....The time I have to play I want to maximize and be comfortable....Anybody use these and can share comments good or bad about them ????? My bad....they are are called Soundseats I think.......

thanks
Mrbirdog

Soundseats are excellent. Very supportive and comfortable and they stand up to pretty much anything you can throw at them.

Hi Mrbd...

A nice thing about SoundSeat chairs is they are all-leather, not just leather upper surface (which causes side/backs of the cushion to crack later).

My main one is nearly 9 years old, without a snag, stain, or popped stitch.

they can make a big difference I think...As of late had been playing sitting on a comfy sofa,so comfy that my body position was not conducive to longer player sessions i.e. my left arm and hand would fall asleep. At first I thought it could be something serious but the other day I got one of my kitchen chairs and sat in it and played....... and no more problem.....

Hi stonedtone...

I teach, and my lessons are 90 minutes. I've done as many as 2-3 lessons a day without tiring out body parts.

The main difference they make is that they eliminate cramping as a limiter for how long you can play. No other chair I've ever played guitar in has made it so I can literally play until my fingers can't continue - back or leg cramping always stopped me first. They support like those $1100 Herman Miller office chairs but are designed to support you as a guitarist and not get in the way.

I can play for endless hours in my Soundseat without fatigue.

It's my prized possession above all my other gear. (guitars excluded)
