What is that in his soundhole? I noticed he had one in his Taylors, too.

It's almost like a rubber stopper. It cuts feedback and background noise.

Yup that it is , its called a Feedback Buster

are they worth getting? I may put one in my dreadnought..

Is your guitar plugged in alot ? A feedback buster is only to cut some of the feedback so you only hear the pickup , apperently Dave has been using it alot lately , on the Farm Aid shows , and everytime he has a Taylor 914ce in his hands

Never seen him using it on a Martin b4 i saw that picture though

it really makes it a lot easier to plug in. especially if you've had problems before. I play with another guy and he never needs one and for my guitar , the second i take the Buster out i get crazy feedback, so i'm telling you it really does work.

of course it has a threashold so if you go to loud or something it's still gonna give feedback, just not nearly as bad.

Nice post grock

Also if you don't plug in your guitar , don't put a feedback buster in

Good thinking!

it shouldn't be more than 10 bucks and at that price why not have one "just in case"...

You're right grock

I think im gonna go get one myself , i've been wanting to for the past 6 months now , just been too lazy to get it

I'd recommend the feedback buster. Don't leave it in when you aren't plugged in though

really cuz i don't notice a significant difference, i think there is some bass lost but it is by no means a quieter guitar just by covering the soundhole.

It makes mine quieter...lol, the sound hole is there to resonate the notes...

I just want to say, every picture I see of dave with his taylor 12 string, he has that in it all the time.
