OK I wasn't completely forthcoming... I said I got a chance to play the prototype when in fact it got loaned around a bit after the GAL (the Guild of American Luthiers) convention in Tacoma, WA in July and I volunteered to get it from Mark Hanson and deliver it back to Steve and Ryan in time for it to make it to Woodstock, unscathed (hopefully).
It really is a sweet sounding and beautiful looking instrument and I am totally in love with the sound port! I suspect my new 00 (with its sound port) will be the only guitar I play for months!
I love that you don't notice the sound coming from the sound port, it just sounds like the guitar is 50% louder than normal.
