for the most part, yes you are correct (sometimes they are referred to as S-holes)...but this guitar does in fact have F-holes

why the hell would you tape over fholes? they're beautiful.

i owned a Gibson ES-137 a while back and I found the sustain of the guitar to be much warmer and cleaner if I taped over the F-holes. Due to small stages and clutter, this guitar was also prone to some feedback issues (when not desired), so taping over the holes was a quick and simple remedy. I guess when push comes to shove, musicians have to pass on the aesthetic aspects and go with what works. Sort of how DM taped over his controls on his Chet Atkins SST, not for feedback obviously, but so he can do his two-step dance and freak out on the guitar and not mess up Monk's work.

Those must be some very skinny F-holes then. That black tape he has over them doesn't look very thick.

theyre not F-holes!

theres also a possible chance that mraz put on the tape to keep people from seeing the new holes til NAMM.

nah, if Taylor was so concerned about that, they wouldn't have prototyped the guitar to Mraz in the first place...

i know a dealer going to NAMM in Anaheim in a couple weeks, I'll have him give me the scoop and get back to you...

is there any way we can hear that concert to see what it sounded like?

[GSR]

I approve of the Chaylor. Buy one dave.

spoke with Zach today from Taylor Customer Service....they are in fact F-holes....the tape was used to suppress feedback...

[Thomas]

i thought the whole point of these type of guitars was to eliminate feedback altogether.
