    First reaction to the doors was...meh, gimmicky
    ...but that sound...brought out so well by such beautiful playing.

      Well, this was a very important guitar--it was an experiment that John Monteleone was making to explore what made the best sound. At the time of the commission, we only know of 1 example of a guitar with a soundport. Was it too big? Too Small? In the wrong place? John build another Blue Guitar, then told Scott about this experiment. Scott told him to go with that for his Blue Guitar, and thus we have it. The other guitar ended up overseas with a collector and hasn't been seen since. The most interesting thing to me is that if you ask players what is their favorite configuration of opening/closing the three soundholes, almost everyone chooses different combinations.

    So, why not explain what is happening when he is making changes and adjustments to the instrument?

      If you look carefully at :16, you'll see that the side knob pulls out the metal plate that covers the oval sound hole in front. When the hole is opened, there's obviously more acoustic volume that projects forward.
      There are 2 other slides on the upper rim (which AREN'T visible to the camera) which do a similar thing... although the effect of those is more for the player's benefit than the listener's.
      There are a number of other vids of this guitar, where those facets are explained in more detail.

      @@PaulAsbell thank you. I will look again.

      There is a subsequent interview with John Monteleone where he discusses the concept behind this build. Also, check out the @jazzguitartoday feature on this guitar on RUclips.

    He is great player but the music he plays for the most part would sound better/nicer on either a nylonstring or an electric archtop guitar - but that's just my subjective ear.
