NOTE: Suction cups do not work well on non-gloss finishes. If your finish is not smooth and shiny, a clear adhesive film is included with the Gitano Support that will allow suction cups to adhere more securely to your guitar, but these films can cause serious damage to your guitar finish if removed.
The Gitano is the most compact of all guitar supports and can easily fit in nearly any guitar case. It is ideal for playing on the right leg in a Flamenco position as well as for children and jazz guitars. It is symmetrical and can be used by right-handed or left-handed players.
Note: This version of the Gitano support has three suction cups as shown in the closeup photos of the support. The photos of the Gitano attached to the guitar are of the older version which had only two suction cups.
Three Cups or Four? The Gitano Guitar Support is made from metal and has a velvet strap and three well-secured suction cups. There is a space for a 4th cup, but it does not come with that cup and most people do not find it to be necessary. There is a small square rubber stopper to take the place of where that cup would be installed. If you need a 4th cup, you can purchase it HERE. Please be sure to remove the small square rubber stopper before installing the cup.
Minimum instrument width: 3 inches.
(The distance between the outside edges of the cups is 3 inches.)
The Gitano support does not come with adhesive strips for non-glossy finishes. If you need them, we recommend Kling-On Suction Cup Helpers.
