    I have two McClungs. They rock.

    QUESTION: do they make, or will they make, a maple/blonde armrest to more-or-less match my Eastman 915 blonde? I could make one myself, but would rather save myself the time.

    Thanks in advance!

    Can't answer your question but if you email the address on the site, you'll probably get an answer that you know is right! (I've asked a couple questions and got an answer very quickly.)

    WooHoo!
    The website is up and running at about 90%. A few more tweaks and such and I have about 20 armrests to process and post.
    It’s much different than the past site. I’m still learning and trying to be more proficient. But we’re moving forward!

    You might want to look at these. I have one on each of Eastmans. They are pricey but, IMO the best arm rests I have ever used.

    Thanks again, Chompa! I just received a nice maple armrest from Cumberland Acoustic, appears to be virtually identical except for the finish.

    Rocking along. My new automated sander, Jason, has saved my shoulders a bunch. I’ll be having shoulder replacement after the first of the year if I can last that long. So far we have about 50 armrests listed and 30 more in progress. The most I ever had at one time. David McClung had taken over the inlay side and minds the store when I’m out of the office. Thanks for the support!

    Just received the armrest for my Eastman MD504cs and it’s everything people have been raving about in this thread. Such a small thing that makes a big difference.

    I really like my newest McClung on my Pava Pro. Doug did a great job with the color and finish.

    While there are a number of very good arm rest makers on this forum, but for me the McClung design is superior in the way it positions your right hand angle over the strings. Everyone is different so other designs may work better for you!

    I'm a fan of these, I got one on my Collings MT, Big Muddy M-11, and most recently bought the rosewood octave armrest for my Eastman MDO305 octave. I'm not sure how new these are but the site says they're based off the Eastman pattern. Looks great and makes it much more comfy to play.

    NFI here; I had Perry Jones (from a classified ad here) make armrests for my ‘78Nugget A, Weber Bitterroot Mandola, and ‘15 Ellis F. All have different color finishes. He matched the colors from photos and made the rests out of different woods per my request. Really comfortable, perfect fit and the finish is outstanding. The price was hard to beat, great customer service.

    I have purchased several McClung arm rests as well as a few finger rests, or pickguards, from Mr. Edwards. Every time it's been a great product, exactly as advertised & shipped in a timely manner. Can't recommend Hill Country Stringworks highly enough!

    I agree. I don’t know how the McClung AR could be better for positioning the picking hand, and each one looks great. I am glad to hear the other items you have purchased from Doug are also outstanding!

    Hard to believe I’ve done this 16 years. The McClung for 14 years. A nice expensive hobby/business. I contemplated retiring from it, but the wife didn’t want bored. She was right. Thanks to all the loyal and supportive customers/friends.

    I have bought several finger rests & arm rests & they are just fantastic. I've never been disappointed with anything I've purchased from you. Great product & service so thank you very much. BTW, you can't retire. I have two new mandos coming & I'm going to need arm rests for them.
