Woodside supports hold the instrument with a gripping system that contacts the edge of the guitar body, and the soft gripper surfaces at those contact points are what keep the hold secure while protecting the instrument's finish. Like any contact material, they wear with regular use — this kit restores them to like-new condition.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eWhen to Replace Your Grippers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"xg-line\"\u003eGripper material is a wear item. Over months and years of daily attachment and removal, the surfaces can compress, harden, tear, or lose their grip. Signs it's time for replacement include the support feeling less secure on the guitar's edge, visible cracking or splitting in the gripper material, or any slipping during play. Replacing worn grippers promptly matters for two reasons: a secure hold protects your instrument from an accidental drop, and intact gripper material is what stands between the support's hardware and your guitar's finish.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eA Small Investment That Extends Your Support's Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"xg-line\"\u003eWoodside supports are machined from anodized aluminum, brass, and stainless steel — the hardware itself is built to last decades. The grippers are the only significant wear component, which means this inexpensive kit is effectively all the maintenance a Woodside support ever needs. Rather than replacing a support that has served you well, a few minutes with the repair kit puts it back in service.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"xg-line\"\u003eInstallation is a simple job you can do at home — remove the worn material from the gripper posts, fit the replacement material, and you're back to playing. For a firmer seat when working with the gripper components, Woodside also makes the RCG-1 Retaining Cup Gripper tool. If you'd like guidance on the process or aren't sure this is the fix your support needs, get in touch before ordering.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003eKeep Your Woodside Support Performing Like New\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"xg-line\"\u003eQuestions about compatibility with your Woodside model, or about which replacement parts your support needs?
