I haven't posted pics in a long time, here are a few shots of a recent completion. This is a Lutz/Lutz double-top over cocobolo 000-13 fretter with elevated fretboard.

Tom.Thanks Tom.....as you can see I use dual sound-ports, I decided to do this after doing blind listening tests with family/friends/customers on a dummy guitar with multiple soundports, the dual ports in this specific guitar shape and size just produced a better tone to the ears in the test, so I made them a normal part of my build process. By the way, you can cover/uncover the ports and hear a discernable difference with both ports open. I thought I had found something really unique until I spotted a few classical builders using dual ports in similar locations as mine.....seems no stone has been unturned in the luthiery world.

Thanks a lot Kevin....interesting to me that you are the first person to see/comment on what is happening there, the top does drop to accommodate the raised fingerboard, good eyes ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

Appreciate that Shane.....it is the nomex version, I've considered doing it all wood but the darn things sound so good like this I figure why change. This was a Lutz/Lutz double top too, I wondered if it might be too stiff, but it rocked! Cheers, |
