The idea behind this new product is simple and practical, it is a toolbox that can conveniently open up and transform into a guitar workspace for both acoustic and electric guitars.
How many times have you had a string break during a gig and had no where to lay your guitar down on to replace the string or tune? If you have a guitar table, don’t you wish you can simply store it away if you want to use the space for something else? These are the problems that the GMT-004 Guitar Maintenance Table is designed for.
Grundorf Corporation is known for their instrument and gear cases and racks, and as such they have the experience and expertise to turn the portable guitar table idea into a series of working products. The result is a line of GMTs (Guitar Maintenance Tables) that are described as the “ultimate toolbox / guitar workspace“, which can be used for working on guitars and for storing gear. The GMT-004 in particular is the most compact version, being able to fold in half while still having special compartments for keeping strings, tools, and other gear.
In it’s guitar maintenance table form, the GMT-004 provides ample space for working on your guitar, and it’s soft interior will hold your guitar without scratching or damaging the instrument. It also has an elevated neck support brace that lets you work on the neck with a good viewing angle. But what makes this one special is its ability to fold in half and turn into a suitcase that can carry your gear.
The ability to be folded into a suitcase-sized package makes the guitar table very compact and practical, which means that you can conveniently store it away when not in use, or carry it with you for gigs. This is especially practical for bands since it can also double as a carrying bag for extra strings, cables, capos and other important backup gear and maintenance tools.
The company says, “The unique design of this case keeps the system compact while providing ample space when actually working on an instrument. Adding still greater practicality to its versatile design, the GMT-004 Guitar Maintenance Table comes equipped with non-marring plastic corners, surface mounted ‘pad-lockable’ latches, a sturdy plastic handle, and is finished in black vinyl. The result is an extremely compact, versatile, and durable workspace designed to provide years of exceptional service.”
