Lately I've been tossing around the idea of adding an armrest to my Falcon. During longer periods of playing I find the edge of the upper bout begins to irritate the inside of my forearm. Pretty soon I think I'm going to start developing a callous or a severe skin indentation from where my arm sits on the body.
I'm guessing I'm not the first person this has ever happened to but I was curious if an arm-rest might be the solution to my little annoyance?
I've looked around at what's available on the market (banjo and guitar) and I really haven't seen anything that appeals to me functionally or esthetically. I really like the look of the Vega banjo style arm-rest but I'm a little put off by the attachment bracket. Worse case scenario I could always buy, grind off the mounting tabs, and have it plated.
Ideally, I'd like a smaller tubular style rest with soft edges and no mounting bracket and should I be so lucky, gold plated as well.
Anybody have any suggestions, input, or opinions on the matter?
