Ok. I am experimenting setting up the neck on an oval hole mandolin to join at the 13th fret like a Collings MTO. On my Siminoff A1 drawings this puts the soundhole at the 24th fret instead of just past the 21st fret. Should I move the soundhole closer to the neck or just leave it as shown in the attached photo.
I am open to any ideas. I just prefer having a bit more neck room for the finger for those of you think it is sacrilege to change the timely old Gibson A1 design.
