I bolt on my necks and I like being able to get my hand in as well. But...I was told that changing the hole size does make a difference...bigger sound hole makes a brighter sound.

OM's usually have a smaller soundhole. 3.875" is normal I believe. You should buy some plans for these...it will help a lot. |

I suppose mine could be considered "Clarence White" OMs Of so, then what are mine, at 4-3/8"? <Bg> There are few places where the rules can be bent as much as with the soundhole size. |

Yeah, some of the OM/D go that big. The others stay the smaller 4-1/4" <bg> Don't know what it changes; just know what I like. I like being able to get my hand in that soundbox..... |

increasing the soundhole size increases the frequency of the first air vibration mode. |
