Location: SoCal | I've been playing with the sound hole plugs on my 87C. Plugging the 3 holes on the treble side really make the bass E and A strings pop. I may just leave them in there.
Anybody else use them on a regular basis? |

Location: NJ | I have the holes in the treble bout of the Adamas LongNeck plugged.
Being that it was a custom-build, the holes were JUST slightly larger than the production units and the plugs were loose & prone to falling out.
I have them taped in-place with a piece of gaffer's tape from the inside of the guitar . . . |

Location: SoCal | You know, the holes in the OFC guitar (ding!) are slightly smaller than in the production models. Couldn't use the plugs in it.
I woulda thought that all the sound holes in the multi hole guitars would have been of a uniform size....... |

Location: Scotland | Interesting how the holes vary. They fit perfectly on my 47RI which should be identical to the OFC - (ding!) and they fit my 1189 perfectly too. But on my 1581 just 1 of the 3 main holes is slightly bigger than it should be and the bung falls through. |

Location: Jet City | the medium sized ones on the upper bout are a bit too snug on my 1778lx. I did manage to slowly and carefully get them in.
the 1778lx stays in it's case these days when it's at home. It's the go to for playing out now, so I leave all the holes plugged. |

Location: Utah | All our O's in this house are single sided eppis. Plugging the holes makes them sound thin. But amplified, they sound glorious even plugged. The louder the better, too. |
