I'm not Tony, but I don't think that looks as good in light wood, and I really don't like that style sound hole as it makes me think of a poorly-carved jack o'lantern.

If it plays anything like the electric version of that guitar (they made a semi-hollow Eclipse with dual humbuckers in the 90s) it is awesome.

Not too shabby. I'm in agreement about the F-hole... it seems cut awfully close to the bridge, but other than that, I'm sure it plays quite nice.

Fail!!!

Baimun would not be able to disassemble, modify and replace.

Where there is a disc sander and a router, there is a way!

That is not an F-hole; that is an F'd up hole.
