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?

No not at all.

Congrats Pat! I agree beautiful figure in that MG.

The wings certainly pop on this Mapleglo. An iconic look.

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.

Nice!!!!

Awesome fingerboard!
