2889.0. "John Pearce armrest" by CHEFS::IMMSA (adrift on the sea of heartbreak) Fri Feb 11 1994 06:36

    I have ordered a John Pearse guitar arm rest from Elderly and while I
    wait for it to arrive, I wonder if anyone has had experience of these
    things?
    
    I first saw them when I was in the US some six years ago.
    
    It is a piece of curved plastic, about a 1/4 of an inch thick and an
    inch wide and it fits on the face of the guitar on the lower bout under
    your arm, to lift the arm off the face of the guitar and thus protect
    the surface.
    
    In fact it looks very similar to the chrome arm rest you find on
    5-string banjos.
    
    What I am interested in is the way it attaches.
    
    If it is designed to protect the finish there would be little point in
    having an adhesive that will spoil the finish.
    
    Has an adhesive been invented I wonder which will do the job?
