Resisting arrest!
Steve convinced me to turn myself in, by talking up my 'ultimate Kinnaird' guitar and its attributes (read: Braz et al). The one thing I am convinced I want (especially after playing one that is about to leave his shop) is a sound port. A guitar is built for the listener, not the player (with the sound hole facing away from the player). I want my 'ultimate Kinniard' to be for me and the sound port seems best to allow the player to get a better 'listen' - while not appreciably impacting the sound in front (some even say it improves the sound in front).
