Steel Guitar Seats

One of the accessories your going to need to get at some point is a steel guitar seat. They come in many sizes, options and with many color and fabric selection to suit your taste. They can be pricey at $250 or so depending on what you want.

My first seat when I was a kid playing the lap steel was the kitchen table chair. Not the best but it worked and as a kid I did not know any better. When I bought my first steel guitar I opted for a cheap solution until I could figure out what I wanted. I bought a folding bench for about $80.

It had various height adjustments and it folded down for easy storage. It is a workable solution. One day, one of the pins holding the bench in place broke and forced me to look for a seat. I remembered Joe Naylor from Steel Guitar Seat having met him at the Dallas show. I looked him up online and I selected a monster of a seat side car, seat back and power strip. That added weight is not much but with a 78 pound guitar and a 60 pound amp the 40 pounds of a seat is a bit much. Love the seat and keep it in my studio. I ordered a second seat from Joe that is just a basic seat for lugging around. I have not received it yet and am looking forward to its arrival.

You can get what you need that will suit your purposes. Now Joe is not the only supplier of steal seats but I like Joe, he is personable and will bend over backwards to help you.
