Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A padded cradle that supports the guitar neck on a bench so you can restring, adjust the truss rod, or clean the fretboard.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Restringing without the headstock rolling off the table
  • Truss rod and fretboard work at a workbench
  • Anyone doing their own setups at home

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players who only change strings once a year
  • Anyone wanting a display or floor stand — this is a bench tool
  • Travel use; it is a shop item, not a gig item

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Neck cradle design

Holds the neck at a fixed height so the body sits flat and the guitar cannot roll while you work.

Detail 02

Padded contact surface

Protects finish and neck from bench scratches during string changes and fretwork.

Detail 03

Bench-top format

Sits on a flat surface. You still need a table or workbench with enough length for the body.

Detail 04

Works across guitar and bass necks

The cradle supports the neck rather than clamping a specific profile, so it handles different neck widths.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No tools, strings, or cleaning products included — this is the support only
  2. 02You need a stable bench or table long enough for the full instrument
  3. 03Body still rests on the surface; put a towel or mat under it

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with any cleaning or setup supplies?

No. It is the cradle only. Polish, fretboard conditioner, string winders and wrenches are separate purchases.

02Can I use it for a bass?

Yes. The cradle supports the neck rather than gripping a specific size, so bass necks sit in it fine.

03Is this a guitar stand?

No. It is a workbench support for restringing and maintenance, not a stand for storing or displaying a guitar.

04Do I need one to change strings?

No, but it makes the job easier. It keeps the neck level and stops the guitar rolling when you are winding strings or turning a truss rod nut.
