Soundport Cover
I saw this on the website of one of my favorite steel string luthiers, and thought I would post it in case any of you are interested in the concept. IMO it's a fairly elegant solution for the customer that wants the effect of a soundport but maybe not all the time. I dunno, what do you guys think?
beneteauguitars.com:
Recently I came up with this solution to the problem of having a Sound Port but not wanting to utilize it all the time. My cover is curved to match the side and is a press fit into the port hole. Lined with cork, it will not damage the finish and, when in place, looks completely natural. - Marc Beneteau

This with something looking "completely natural" can be discussed from now on to eternity. The idea is good and not to difficult to make but I cant personally see the "natural" part of the design.
I guess if you make the hole too big and overpowering you have to think up solutions for that problem. I would have just gone with a smaller hole, simpler that way.

That's almost as hilarious as Doit's "protection" post...
(Guess it's just a filthy mind... )

... So in past when I got warm, my protection broke and the training ended before the climax..... And the second problem was that I cant controll the guitar as usual if the protection is too big. I need very very thin protection and robust protection. And it have to be flexible.

ROOON YOU BASTARRDO!!! XD hahahhahaa!!! I almost forgot about that... hehe
But yes, Sean´s post can compete..hahaha!! "overpowering"..lol!!
Ron cited it above your post..you can also find it in my citation of Rons citation of my citation from 2005.. I remember my English was much worse that time.. I had severe problems to write in English.... Luckily ...it improved a little.. haha
Well, if you would stop takind Conan the Barbarian as your role model your English would improve a thousdand fold in a few weeks.....
Tell me how exactly.. I will follow your instructions for sure. btw. Its not conan..its MacLeod from Highlander. This avatar is a challenge avatar. It just shows that Im still in the challenge...its a fight to get better skills in particular bulerias. I will change it immediately when I finish the challenge. If I cant finish it ecause Im not good enough..I wont ever change it. Its my rule.. I cant break it. I used to have nicer avatars.
I just wonder why everybody who tries to attack me picks on the avatar in a misunderstood way... Oo

My favorite avatar was "quartermaine and two gays".
And while the protection post was funny i always loved when after a very long detailed post you respond with:
.
Oh about sound port cover.... I think what was meant by "natural" was the wood grain looks like it matches that's all. Just give a man a hole and he will find a way to plug it... It's only "natural" after all.

haha Yeah that was a good one ^^ This funny picture from Friday night in something with Ali and Mac ...
Did you save it ?? I checked all my old discs for this avatar..Its gone.. . :/ sad..
EDIT: I just edited a brand new avatar. I just need to end the challenge..then you can enjoy it. The protagonist is Paco again.. :D And it has a very positive spirit. You´ll like it for sure. hehe
Doitsujin - It has been rumored for centuries that a certain Spaniard from Egypt with a Scottish accent taught Connor Macleod the art of Flamenco....and sword fighting.

Did anyone else think it was strange he trained him so thoroughly knowing full well...."there could be only one"?
