Adjustable Soundport



What is the "Adjustable Sound Port"?
 
A sound port is simply extra sound hole placed somewhere other than on the top.  Many modern guitar designs benefit from the extra breathing room provided by these extra holes.  My sound port's placement is discrete, and allows the player to hear more subtle nuances when opened.  But the sound port can also affect the sound the audience hears.
 
A fully opened port opens and deepens the lower and middle range, in effect deepening and darkening the overall tone.  It also increases overall volume.  Closing it restrains the bases slightly, making the guitar more balanced across the strings.  In all cases the trebles remain crisp and powerful.  The adjustable port feature allows you to fine-tune the voicing to fit your style and the type of music, further increasing the tonal palette of your instrument.
 
My adjustable sound port design is simple, discrete, and elegant.  It does not rattle or buzz, nor will it wear out.  It is the only design I know of in the world that: a) can be adjusted to any degree you wish, b) can be easily adjusted with one finger, even while playing, and c) does not require that you add or remove anything from the guitar - ever.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
I would love to make you a HIGH PERFORMANCE guitar!
