Looks like a normal armrest to me (as been used from the 1920-ies by Gibson) I had Mastertone clones and a non-Mastertone Gibson since 1976 but never experienced any trouble with an armrest. I prefer to put it as high as possible to position my hand in the ideal picking position, but that's all there is, to me. Just out of curiosity: What makes you prefer the Grafton over the Flinthill that is one position higher on the web site?

One poped up for £180 and it was a clipper so i had to have it at that price it sounds great got to get into it again now.
