I play a 1975 Sakurai guitar most of the time. When I first got the guitar it had a big set of controls on the side. Looked great, but sounded terrible. So I took out the control panel. The one I put in its place is well, a little smaller. So now I have a huge hole in the side of my guitar. Sounds great, looks terrible. I live in San Diego, and most of the time its sunny around here, so I nicknamed the hole my sunroof. Enter winter storm 2007. Now my sunroof is a rain roof and playing outside is impossible. Looks terrible, doesn’t sound.
