Anybody made a hand rest for the SX lap steel?????

[George Rout]

A friend recently bought an SX guitar (pic attached). Has anybody been innovative and made a hand rest for it or have any suggestions.



Thanks.

I have one of the first batch of SX lap steels that Rondo brought over. It has a big chrome bridge cover/hand rest, similar to the "ashtray" on a Telecaster. Contact Rondo, they may be able to fix him up with one. Or look at what they have on guitar parts sites like Stew-Mac.

Thanks John for that. I bought one of the early SX's with the stand, but I can't remember what the top looked like. It must have had the hand rest because I don't remember the problem. I end up buying guitars and selling them to my students. I know I didn't have that one very long before somebody wanted it. But I will go chasing the parts places. I'll do a little research. Thanks again.

Thanks Chris, I'll have to get together with my buddy who owns the guitar for dimensions.

WHOA! After I found and posted that, Facebook targeted me with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/162552599201 That is the original chrome bridge cover/handrest on my early SX lap steel, that's sitting on the table beside me! This will fit perfectly, it only needs two screws and holes to attach it.

Well, isn't that rinky dink. Makes life easy.
Thank you so much.
