From Tom Bills’ Website “With deep roots in the past the G2 steel string boldly journeys into the future… the side soundport leaves the asymmetrical top unimpeded for maximum energy efficiency.” This is a gorgeous instrument that is impeccably crafted throughout. You need only peer in the soundhole to see bracing that is artwork. The idea of omitting the soundhole makes for great flexibility in bracing ideas and gives this Bills G2 a uniquely powerful voice. The player gets all the great tone and this would work great on stage. This one is top of the line all the way featuring premium Brazilian Rosewood, European Spruce and a stunning wooden Falling Leaf inlay pattern.
I'm a fan of builders pushing the envelope and this design is very cool. The concept of offset soundholes or soundport only guitars is to remove the structural weakness in the center of the guitar. This allows for greater flexibility in bracing and voicing the top. With this guitar Tom Bills was able to achieve wonderous bass response that is strong but controlled and clear, crisp trebles. The player hears a strong powerful sound from the port that is sure to be inspiring. I love the look and feel and the construction is top notch. 
This is a very interesting guitar. The soundport is the only soundhole on the guitar and the internal bracing is unusual and a work of art itself. I enjoyed playing this guitar. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
