Tacoma Acoustic Guitars

[threshhold2]

can anyone tell me whats this thing with TACOMA'S odd soundhole (on some of their modeks)

 

[Hard2Hear]

"Placing Tacoma Guitars' trademarked paisley soundhole in the upper bass bout allows the top carving to be thinner around the edges since we don't need to support the top around the F hole. With the edges thinned out farther into the top, these guitars produce crisp fullness in the bass range and overall balance of tone other production arched top guitars can't match"

i don't know what all it does but i can say that they sound good...

although i never owned one with that kind of sound hole i once had a Tacoma DM10 for almost a year...
