Not that expensive, relatively speaking - if you can afford a D-18, J-45 or Taylor 327e you can afford a Rainsong, CA, or Emerald...

It's called a sound port.
Though it could also be good for those that double on "glass harp".

That would be called carbon fiber. My Rainsong and Emerald are distinct but share some tonal similarities to all of the wood guitars I own.

Closed tuning machines. They seem to have gone to the wayside.

adjustable intonation for each string, akin to what an electric has, without a heavy complicated bridge system.
and the one post about interchangeable necks, thats an excellent thought as well. in the banjo world there are two kinds, Nechville and all others. Tom Nechville has designed a sliding neck joint using one allen bolt where you can adjust the action height-and by removing that one allen bolt, remove the neck totally. takes like 1 min to remove or replace the neck on a Nechville. His manufacture skills are "Taylor" precise, so you can order mult necks, different scale lengths, widths,etc, and they all fit perfect and work within a min or three of installing. He has made many technical advancements of this sort for banjos(tone ring exchange ability, his helical mount system, intonated bridges, and more) |

What about an opening back?
Airtight seal and a latch? Open the back and save putting the hands in the soundhole for all those little and large internal jobs! ( braces, bridge plate, pickups, batteries!! etc, etc. ) BluesKing777. |

But the adjustable bridge systems on electrics are both heavy and complicated. The conversations on forums like these would be even more interesting. |

There are already a few builders who use individual saddle pieces for each string, so it’s considerably easier to adjust intonation and action for a single string without having to make a full saddle -

This is exactly the opposite of my experience: I am a classical double bassist. I play with the tips of my fingers. And I definitely prefer a chunkier neck because it allows me to arch my hand more comfortably and maintain that fingertip technique. |
