Woodside HLK-3 High Lift Kit for Woodside Guitar Supports
The Woodside HLK-3 is a High Lift Kit that installs between the leg support and the cradle of a Woodside guitar support, raising the instrument substantially higher than the stock column allows. It's designed for the current Pro Collar generation of Woodside supports and provides the largest elevation increase in Woodside's lift kit range.
Who Needs a High Lift Kit
Taller players routinely reach the top of a Woodside's stock adjustment range and still want the guitar higher. The same is true of anyone who prefers the instrument angled steeper than about 45 degrees, or who plays in a more upright, vertically oriented position. Bringing the guitar up to you rather than leaning down to it can meaningfully reduce strain on the back, shoulders, and neck over a long practice session or performance. If you've maxed out your support's height and still find yourself compensating, this is the accessory that solves it.
Choosing Between Woodside's Lift Kits
Woodside makes lift kits in two lengths, and picking the right one comes down to how much change you actually want in your playing position. The HLK-3 High Lift Kit delivers the full range of additional elevation — the choice for tall players and anyone who wants a decisively more upright setup. The
SLK-3 Short Lift Kit offers a more moderate increase for players who want some added height without dramatically altering an established position. There is also the earlier
HLK-2 High Lift Kit for previous-generation Woodside supports. If you're weighing the options, tell us your height and which Woodside model you own and we'll point you to the right one.
This Item Is the Lift Kit Only
The HLK-3 is an accessory, not a complete support. A Woodside guitar support is required and is sold separately — see our full range of
Woodside guitar supports. The kit ships with all necessary hardware and printed installation instructions, and fitting it takes only a few minutes.
Confirm Fit Before You Order
Woodside has produced several generations of supports, and each lift kit is matched to a specific column and collar design — the HLK-3 is not interchangeable with the older HLK-2. If you're unsure which one fits your support, let us know the model and we'll confirm before you buy. Call 828-417-9515 or email
