Those bezels look great. The thumbrest is a great addition especially since that's the best spot to play.
But does it get in the way if you're using a pick?

The wings certainly pop on this Mapleglo. An iconic look.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Pat,
While the rest on the bezel looks like a string, I've never had it interfere while playing with a pick. That "perch" is my favored spot to anchor my thumb while playing finger style but when I pick, I tend to strike the strings between the treble pup and the bridge. If you feel it may be an issue, I'd suggest the cove model.

I didn't know if it might be a problem or if people had a problem with it. Just came to my mind since it sticks out there.Kopfjaeger wrote:Pat,
