A guitar that needs armrest normally has it already. The ones without, only need them as ornaments

The arm rest I build takes the pressure off the inside of your arm and allows you to play longer. And yes, it does look cool as well. I'll be showing that in a video very soon.

Love the top down shot. I'm excited to see the arm rest finished.

Try gluing some cork or leather to the plastic on the guitar holder prevents slipplng

Monty, great videos, great addition from Peter along with your vision you have created a vlog that's 10/10 but you need to up your game in the tea dept. Yorkshire GOLD is where its at, take it from a true BRIT !

I really enjoy the overhead views. I'm really excited to see the next steps; I'm at the same place in my current build and need the inspiration! I will be using "crazy" (actually thin CA) glue as well.

I’ve been using Titebond but it’s open time is too long. I bent my binding with a homemade pipe jig with a propane torch and the maple wants to spring back. I have it all dry fit and taped up but not glued. I’m going to try Robbie O’Brien’s CA method but I was also told by another amateur luthier to wrap it all with twill tape after taping it down. I am on the hunt for 100’ of it at local craft and fabric stores. When luthery is just a hobby you have to be resourceful!

Oh man, after all that work it jumped out of the holder jig! I couldn’t image if at this point it went wrong and you had to recover with a whole new build! Great angles again Monty!

Knocked down another milestone! Congrats! What are your most nervous tasks still ahead? At this point I'd be dancing a little jig. 🤣

Can the same steps be used on a half cutaway

Not sure of your question. Do you mean putting a slant in the cutaway? If so the answer is yes with a little modification.

Hi Monty, when you say arm rest does that mean you are going to attach something to the inlaid piece of wood you showed in this video. It is looking great.
