I've never seen one before (or even heard of one until I read your post) but I think it would be a GREAT idea! I love the way they look on guitars. To be honest I'm not sure how much it would help you hold the instrument better since it's not that big to begin with, but I think it would be a very classy and sophisticated aesthetic.

For what it's worth I think an arm bevel serves little function on an ukulele. While they may make some sense on a guitar ukuleles are not generally held in the same manner. It does look cool though but I don't expect them to catch on if only because they are difficult to do well (therefore expensive.)
BTW, I recently saw one from a builder in Japan.
Pics attached for those who don't know what we're talking about.
IMHO - For me, I like da beveled edge on da lower bout cause regulah kine tenor ukes wit da traditional lower bouts cut into my forearms and da buggahs hurt aftah playing fo a couple of hours. AUWE!!! :uhoh:

Did you get every option possible on that uke? What kind of wood is on the B&S...it's gorgeous. I know you like the unique ones and that's about as unique as it gets!! Congrats
I tend to agree with Chuck the bevel on a uke isn't as great a gain as say on a guitar- on the other hand a bevel cutaway makes a bit of sense, as it preserves more volume than a 'normal' cutaway!
Talk about diminishing returns!! I know an arm rest doesn't add to the sound but I sure do want one. My arm gets tired too...I need to somehow justify getting one. hehehe
Did you get your CR yet? I would love to see what carbon bindings look like!

Especially with the miter joints all tight..this one actually adds a counter point to the cut away. modern take a vintage design. Doesnt matter by the way, I have heard many cutaways sound better than the same model without. Whatever difference is overshadowed in other ways. secrets of the universe....
