My latest guitar was a bit of an experiment but has turned out rather well.
Slightly smaller body volume than earlier guitars and with a side port and dropped table on the treble side to make it easier to reach upper fingerboard. Also used the more traditional 650mm scale length.
Sound is very liquid and sweet with good sustain and the side port makes it easier for the player to hear.
You can see the dropped table here:
And the side port here:
Lovely! I’ve strummed all four and this is certainly my favourite – lovely warm sound and the port lets the player – as well as the audience – enjoy the beautiful character!
Thanks George. I am just in process of uploading some sound clips for comparison purposes
