FeedBackBuster for guitars with "F" holes
« on: January 01, 2008, 01:16:52 PM »
I was at Jun Castro's the other day to have my Epi Archtop set up. He mentioned he has seen a "feedback buster" type insert for guitars with "F" holes. Normally they are round for flat tops.
Anybody know where to find?

Salamat!

a good alternative for that is to put a scotch tape on the hole or put a foam inside the f hole..  :-)

George Benson uses Scotch brand magic tape on the f-holes of his guitar for live performances! 8-)

We used to stuff a pair or two of old black socks into the f-hole. Works perfectly, and you still see the edge outline of the f-hole if your guitar has ivoroid or plastic binding. Cheap, effective and "recyclably/environmentally friendly".  :-D
