This one is already sold.These distinctive sound holes began as visualized F holes. A chipped crack developed in the thin wood at one edge, which bummed me for a while.After some reflection, I solved this 'mistake' with a "Custom Design Feature" by cutting 2 rectangular sound holes. The wire is from a vintage barn window.This CBG is nice and loud acoustically. There is a rod piezo inside, wired directly to a jack located on the bottom side.A drawer handle makes for a handy arm rest. A vegetable steamer's aluminum leaf makes up the tail piece. Commercial vinyl for fret markers.

These sound holes started me on a road to visualizing more creative shapes rather than F holes on most of my builds. When I started building years ago, I used grommets always. Now I just about only use grommets on the lunch boxes and tin guitars.
The larger sound holes lead to louder instruments acoustically, usually.

Great save, Rich. Something different and great. Love the album pairing. High 9s.
Creative recovery! Unique and I think it works well with the headstock design.
