Sound ports?

On the Benedetto style archtops (solid, carved) from Wu and Yunzhi, ports are huge. Very easy to test playing with them covered to see the difference so it's not just an impression. Port applies...

You might want to email Michael at DjangoBooks.com. He carries all sorts of rare and old pickups, including DeArmond. He also might be able to give you a lead on where to find a pickup or two. ...

In search of: Original DeArmond RC 1100

Comins GCS-1 Vintage Natural $1,549!

I have a Cordoba classical and I wish it had a truss rod. The new Cordoba Stage I bought DOES have a truss rod and I'm glad, I have already had to use it.
