My last git had two sound holes on the front of the box but for my new one i want to put image on the box and no matter what way i put soundholes on the front counting the bridge pickup and holes its guna cover up too much of my image!
i have seen the soundholes on some gits not on the front of box but on the side mainly the side that points to your face! if i did it like that id have more room for image on front of box.
my question is will it take away from the sound acustically from the git?
any help appreciated in advance!

so you recon it wont sound right unless i get sound facing audience as you discribe? is it much of a difference like would it be fine for playing at home myself?
With all due respect to Wayfinder's most creative suggestions, I don't think putting the sound hole on top would compromise the sound. In fact, if the hole were facing you, it might give you a more honest representation of what's coming out. I'm always surprised to hear my CBGs played by other people, because when I stand in front of the guitar it sounds much louder and clearer than when I'm behind it (playing it myself).
There are a couple of ukes on the market (Riptide, et. al.) that have the sound hole on, top and they sound pretty good. As with all CBG tinkering, good luck and please post a video of the finished product!

thanks will do, would love to hear sound sample for both and see the difference!
Thumper, I do love this one. The whole theme of the thing is rogue.Way yonder cool!
Iv noticed Swampwitch CBGs they don't have sound holes but they sound pretty amazing?
most swamp witch guitars actually have a sound hole . only a few do not if it impedes the artwork design ,, but then i leave a bit of space around the pup .
they are "semi" hollow . really only the neck divides the hollow body .
mind you .. " sound holes" are mostly for "acoustic" guits and sound , and sws are really an " electric guitar " . but the hollowness does migrate to the pups in hollow bods somewhat.
.
thanks man, ya something like your pic was what i had on mind! thanks for info on how it sounds!
