| I have two guitars, One is 3/4 inch higher than the other. I would like them both the same. What is the simplest way to raise the one guitar 3/4 inch? I know some players may say that this small amount of defference wouldn't matter. |

Get a longer set of pedal rods, and extend the telescoping legs of the guitar.
or...
Get a piece of 3/4" plywood to set your guitar on. Drill holes in it for the legs of your chair. Paint it to match the studio carpet.
I think the first option is simpler.

| Or cheaper yet, get a lower seat for the lower guitar? |

| I had a D10 Zum and later got a S10 keyless Excel, which for some reason or other seemed to be only 1/2" higher, but I couldn't get comfortable playing it til I got a piano bench that allowed me to sit up higher while playing it? The bench I wound up with was adjustable to a higher seat than the steel seat I had? 1/2" makes that much difference??? I had the notion that I'd like my elbows above the string height like they are when you play lap steel!? What we really need is a seat with adjustable legs? I guess there already are some?
