Location: Southern California | ok, so on some ovations there are several little soundholes off to the sides instead of one big one directly under the strings..........what is this called? I know there must be a name for it & I would like to get an ovation with those type of sound holes & I would like to sound somewhat knowledgable when asking about it to my prospective seller............
thanks!! |

Location: Cicero, NY | The several holes on either side of the strings are calle epaulets (or eppis around here). Those on top of the strings are "bass side" and those underneath are "treble side". Some guitars have both, some have just bass side but they have a very distinct effect on the sound so go and listen to the differences. It's a real education. |

I have, however, seen some pretty stupid answers. Then cleared the keyboard. (except this time.) |
