This should help all of you wondering how to install the older style guitar armrests that use foam tape (we now offer something better) https://www.etsy.com/shop/MintStrings... In this video, I'll show how to choose an armrest, fitment, and installation, as well as the reason you will want an armrest on your guitar. I'm not sure the sound test of muting can be heard, but here's some information that may help you understand why you want to install one of these. What Does It Do?- This armrest should also improve sound quality. A simple test will show what we mean. Place your guitar on your lap, face up, and strum it once. Now place a few fingers on the top and listen carefully, you will hear a dampening of the tone and a bit of the projection. This is because the top is the “soundboard.” The more it resonates, the better the tone, volume, and projection. Imagine how this must sound when your forearm is resting on the top while playing, dampening such a large area of the top. Testing shows, with a resting arm, you lose between 15% and 20% of the power and projection!
