The soundholes of my woodtop adamas were drilled so that the structure of the different woods become visible. I like that.

The soundholes of my 1537 were quite raw and not very fine made. Today I took a little time to work them over, fine sand and plish from inside, now I have the adamas specs on my elite.

Location: Jet City		I can see them in your dropbox. I'd post them, but they need to be resized first. Try 800px X 600px

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		I think it's because of privacy settings on your pics. Even if I copy the URL directly out and try to see the pic in a browser it prompts for login.

I don't know what the difference was... I think that one was bigger.
But they are both the same size now.

The "after" photo from the original post shows the difference. Clean sound holes with the wood exposed so the layers and structure is visible. Quite nice, actually, but I would consider sealing the surface maybe with shellac or something.

Location: Muenster/Germany		Thank you all for help with the pics, this time I tried all I could think of and finally indeed felt like Picard on the photo...
the surfaces are sealed with wax against moisture or dirt. I had this stupid idea because I love all the wooden appointments of the 1537 guitar.
