It reminds me of an old man wearing brown slacks and a cream collared shirt with brown stripes.
Thats the way I dress when I go out. I get your point. Its a mix of colors which is very quiet. Not shouting at all. I have a feeling that this discrete beauty will age with a lot elegancy. But taste is taste and thats why I also make colored guitars with lots of contrast.

In a few more years i'll probably be investing in some brown slacks myself.
The guitar sounds really good. I was wanting you to dig into it a bit more so i could hear the potential of its full deep resonating sound. I felt like you were being a bit light with it. And i can hear it's got a lot more sound than that inside.

Thank you very much gentleman. I will be accepting orders whenever someone feels like. And maybe I could record some more and dig in a bit more. The guitar accepts it totally and just gets dryer and more punchy. But I´m not touching the guitar very much these days.
Funny, this with a brown suit and a beige shirt. It would be very provocative for me to wear that and I´m sure it could bring some new undiscovered parts of myself to the light. On the other hand, it once was very spanish. You still see them, but not so much as some 2 dacades ago. Quiet middleaged spanish men going to work in an office with a brown suit and a beige shirt. So now that I´m a middleaged man, maybe thats what I should do.

Why??? Sorry Anders.
There´s a search machine on the forum. We´ve been through this a hundred times at least and please start a new thread if you want to discuss this.
I will only say that I happily build guitars without soundport as well. In fact, the majority is without ports. Here you have the last one. Number 98, a traditional blanca with wooden pegs and no soundport. It is sold. There are more photos on my blog

That's the way i wear when i go out!
Simply a beauty and i'm cuorious about a peghead but i guess this parchase will be followed after the Boat! I have a wish list of Anders Eliasson handmade pieces as you already know thumbs up:)

Beautiful guitars and great photography Anders. You matched the cypress to your tops quite well. The cedar top guitar makes me think of apple cider on a crisp fall day (doesn't get much better than that IMO). Nice job.

Your work speaks for itself, sound port or not they are great. I am always amazed by your guitars, I also admire many of the works of other "Guitarreros" on this Foro.
Like always best of luck to you Anders and continued success.

Does this little brown hole really bother you that much. Besides its a very complicated and finely crafted woodinlay. Its maybe the most difficult part of the building.
I personally dont care aesthetically if there´s a port or no.. If the guitar is good, I like it.
Andy, the Cedar top is very pale. and has very nice contrasting and hard grain lines. Something not typical in cedar. The back and sides are relatively dark theselves, and I only added a touch of brown to the FP that I used on the cypress.
Tom, Number 100 will most probably be something like the blond blanca I just posted. A trad. peghead Blanca with nothing special. no port. no this and that. As a builder I have made relatively many pegheads. some 20 - 25% and I find that a blanca like the one in the Guitarrero or this one I just posted is the most emblematic and typical guitar of mine.
