Fitting an armrest to a mid-range classical

ToneControl

ToneControl Frets: 11438

March 2018 in Acoustics

I bought a Yamaha electro classical new
it has a sharper edge around the body than all my other guitars

Has anyone fitted an after-market arm rest?
What cheaper ones are any good?

And for that matter - should I consider using them on my high-end acoustics?

One of these works quite well for taking the 'edge' off a squarer guitar.

haha
that's exactly what I have been using - a slightly different checked pattern from Primani though, but the weather will warm up eventually

I have one of these for my mandolin. https://www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/1410112454 I assume the hardware could be made up for a deeper body
