"Coloma's Ray features a screened sideport, and if you peer closely into the soundhole, you can see one edge of the internal soundbox curving upward near the end of the fretboard. Inspired by designs Mario Maccaferri developed for his jazz manouche guitars in the early 1930s, this wood chamber reflects soundwaves out of the body."
