You can't see it in the photo, but the Nakyd Laydie's back and sides are of bois d'rose from Bob C. Her nickname is Rosie.

Thanks Bob.

Congrats Howard you deserve it!!

I like the dual sound port idea, did the volume open up with the second one?. Harry Fleishman showed the difference in removing the cover plate on the tail of his guitars, it was breathaking. I'm putting one in like McNights doing but a second is an interesting idea...

Now if my copy of the magazine will finally show up in the mail I can read the dang article :)

Cheers
