RASHARU Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I haven't......Yet! I firmly believe this J100 would be a candidate. I just feel that a little bigger soundhole would really open the sucker up tonally. It is a fairly loud guitar when strummed hard,but I can,t help but think that it could be better...Rod I know for a fact that Breedlove uses a larger soundhole diameter on all of their "000" bodies. They swear that it gives the guitar a more open bass response. I had my luthier build my 000-rosewood with a full 4-1/8" soundhole (cedar top) & it really rumbles. Just sayin'...

timeless Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Anyone know the size of the sound hole on a LG2 Banner guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Pass, sorry - but funnily enough I placed my 2012 H-bird p-guard over the 1963 SJ the day before yesterday, , , and it didn't fit at all. Didn't go further - too hot here to be scientific. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a sixteenth inch shy of that. But that is on a '49 LG-2. Maybe Gibson got more true to their 4" soundhole measurement on their reissues.

And also no help with the LG2 but every Gibson of mine from 1935 to modern and small to large have soundholes that allow the installation of the standard Baggs M1, M1a, M80, Sunrise, Dimarzio.......the same can not be said for smaller Martins like my CEO7 or OMs!
