What guitar support are you currently using?
I don't want to start a debate about guitar supports 😅, just want to know which one you're using at the moment... Footrest, Ergo-Play, Guitarlift, Sagework... Right now I'm using LeSupport by Thomas Viloteau!

Sageworks umbra - best for me so far. Previously Guitar lift and Le Support - don’t work for me - too much back and forward movement. Footstool - worst. Low footstool and cushion- pretty good
Micromesh: is it useful?
Currently, I prepare my nails with 1x1 inch pieces of 600 grade sandpaper for rough shaping, then old, worn-out pieces of the same (probably de-facto 1200 grade or finer) for final polishing. Many days I do just the polishing. Over the decades (like most of you, probably), I've learned to detect even microscopic roughness by running the opposite thumbnail along each nail. With all that in mind, would micromesh be worthwhile? It's quite expensive, and I imagine it would be hard to get the thick pads positioned to polish the inside of my nails, where I like to focus the most. I should also mention that I play with relative-short nails (just 1-2 mm past the flesh).

It’s terrific stuff. I use a sapphire file for rough shaping then 6000 to smooth and 12000 to polish. I wrap the micromesh over the file. shifting to a clean section each day.
