Anders Eliasson -> A new soundport design (Oct. 6 2011 8:20:09)

My favorite soundport is the inlayed flower that can be seen on many of my guitars. I charge a 200,.€ extra for that one. Some people dont want to pay that and some dont like the design (fair enough) Therefor I made a "normal" soundport for no extra charge. It was hole in the sides. It works perfectly well but it looks like a hole. So here you have my new hole soundport. I think the binding around it makes it a lot more elegant.

The binding does improve the plain hole, but I love your inlay better.



kozz -> RE: A new soundport design (Oct. 6 2011 10:58:05)

Looks beautifull Anders!
The owner will be very pleased [;)]

Hello Andres ,what is the benefit of this hole??



XXX -> RE: A new soundport design (Oct. 6 2011 11:29:52)

Looks great! Do you have any numbers how much guitars you sell with and without soundport in a given period?

True!
Anders........also if in my old damaged brain :-) the guitar has only one hole, I have to say that as in your rosettes, you are able to reach the beauty with simplicity, which is the most difficult goal in the ART.

Anders Eliasson -> RE: A new soundport design (Oct. 6 2011 15:04:33)

Thanks a lot.

Dennis, I would say that some 50 - 60% have soundports. Maybe a little bit more.

Doublek
Please do a search here on the foro. We´ve had many discussions about soundports.
IMHO it gives you a more direct input and a rounder sound overall, without loosing anything. My own guitars ALWAYS have soundports. I cant live without them anymore.

I been looking at it and,.... I think it is a hole [;)]

and I like that you say it works perfectly well, does this mean you have put in a hole that didn't work?
At least it is a hand-made hole as oppose to them mass made factory holes that you see all over the place,, yuk....[:-]

Nice hole Anders! I agree that the binding gives it a finished look.

Cheers,

I´ve just finished the building of the guitar, so here you have a picture of the soundport when French polished. More pictures of the guitar here:
