Seems like sound ports are the new rage this year.  Thanks for posting these Chris!


 


The Howard Klepper guitar posted here is outrageously beautiful! I love his "outside of the box" thinking ande executions.


The Kip Krusa guitar with the raised sound hole binding is unique also. Cool ideas!

What did that 'Ed Claxton' cedar dinky thing sound like? I actually like that one the best. Kinda early Martin.

Those are actually Tom Doerr`s guitars and I belive the young lady is his wife. I didnt get a cance to meet her but Tom is a great guy.

Chris, thanks for posting theses shots. I was very inspired by many of the guitars you have in this last round of pics.

I have been mostly a tradional style builder, but I am now inpired to offer a more contemporary design. it feels great to have a new goal min mind for this next building season.

Matt
