MusicNomadMN207 Premium Instrument Work Mat & Cradle Cube Neck Support

On the surface, this is a pretty straight forward product with not a whole lot of imagination to be expected. It does the job you expect quite ably. One unexpected (to me anyway) benefit though comes in form of being able to lay the neck support on its side and have it still cradle the guitar neck effectively. Given the soft silicon surface and the wider V angle to it, it self adjusts to the radius of the neck and is both lower and create a much lower angle for the guitar to lay at. You wind up with virtually no chance of the guitar getting knocked over and with the guitar being closer to flat while all but the end of the body is held away from the matt. I find i can also put an electric on its edge as if it were being played, which makes setting the action and intonation accurately a bit easier.CON: The one con I'll toss out there is not enough for me to take a full star away. The matt comes with an elastic strap to hold it together when it's rolled up, but that strap is loose, and thus easy to have fall on the floor, drop between things, or otherwise get lost. It would be nice if it was stitched into the edge such that the matt could still lay flat and the strap could be pulled up and over the matt when it's rolled up, but that it was in no risk of getting separated from the matt. Alternatively, having a little clip or punch in the neck support would provide storage to keep all three pieces together.

Works great when working on your guitar. The mat is fine. It actually keeps the instrument from sliding around, like if you use towels. The cradle is supportive and works great for nut filing and other jobs. OK, the mat gets rolled up and then has a bit of a curl to it. Roll it the other way...or leave it out and it will flatten out. It does not hamper the performance. It's thick enough to protect your guitar. For a home guitar tech, this works great!

Awesome piece of gear. I do all my own luthier/tech work. I used to have a pillow and soft blanket I would use when I needed to change strings, do a set up, fret work etc. I bought this combo set and it's definetly paid for itself. With different sides to hold almost any stringed instrument within reason you can't go wrong. It holds the necks secure due to the materail it's made from guitars don't really slide around on it. The mate itself doesn't slide on my table top at all once laid out. They're totally safe for your finish so no worry about scratches! The neck stand can also double as a holder for your tools. As I said I do all of my own work so I don't use it for this as I have so many tools I had to buy a tool box just for my guitar stuff. All in all this is a must have even if you only use it for string changes. Great value and as always that awesome Music Nomad quality. You really can't go wrong. Save yourself some headaches and buy 1 of these bad boys immediately!

Never knew how much help the MusicNomad would offer when it came time to change out the strings on all my guitars. Sure sped up the process. Then all I had to do is roll it up.

it’s awesome but can be a pain to get metal shavings off of it due to the design on top i wish it was more smooth but the neck rest picks up a lot of dirt so i find myself wiping it a lot to make sure i don’t scratch a neck

Good quality. Fits any acoustic or electric guitar. A long scale bass may not fit. Attractive color, skid proof material. Rolls up and stores neatly

As advertised, should last for years.

Great for working on a bass.
