Arm Rest Series was designed with three goals in mind. 1. Make sure the price would be within reach for everyday players. 2. Make sure they sound as good as every other Teton. I think we went beyond that goal beacuse they sound amazing. Part of the reason for that is because the arm rest allows the players arm to sit just off the guitar top and that lets the top vibrate even more. 3. Make them look like a guitar 3 or 4 times the price tag on a the Teton. I would have to say mission accopmlished.
