Planet Waves O-Port

The guitar players among us might want to check out this YouTube video:

O-Port (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ze_Np09OZk&feature=youtube_gdata)


Has anyone used one of these? If so, what's your opinion?

On the video I didn't notice that much of a difference.
But I did learn a new use for the capo.=)

Interesting device. Seeing how we drop $20 on picks without batting and eye, this seems cheap enough to try out. I've got an order pending with Elderly, I'll see if I can get it added on.

On the video, I liked the sound of the Taylor better without the O-port. And I also wondered whether two "identical" Taylor guitars would sound identical enough to make the comparison meaningful.

We sell them. The word from my manufacturer's rep is that they won't do much for a high-end guitar that has good vibrating wood. They will improve a beginning to mid-line guitar. We're hoping to do an A/B of two identical guitars soon, one with and one without.
