We're putting a side soundport on this Piña. I sent a picture of my suggested oval shape:
I suggested oval because we already have an oval shapes on the back and the inside logo chip so it would tie in and I could dress it up with Koa binding and purfling. Stevied63 liked the oval OK but, was looking for something more. We tossed ideas back and forth for a bit looking for some additional detail that would tie in with the rest of the guitar.
One of the defining visual features of the guitar is the 3 dimensional rosette and the pillow top sculpted headstock. Stevied63 suggested an oval within the oval and that mixed with some sculpting got us on the path of something new!
Thanks for following along!
