Unlike Scott, I didn't use a quiet Saturday for quizzes, but to photoshop something that was going around in me head.

No, it's not a brainbug wanting to get out for lack of brain to feed on...

...I was wondering if one could convert a 360 into something like this:
I'd go for a small round backplate on the back to keep access to the pots and wires.

Eh i had a very productive Saturday

It's probably doable; if you are going to go to the trouble of adding a second sound hole, I would suggest either a smaller, more abbreviated version of the pick guard/scratch plate, in the same shape, or else a transparent one, so you can show off the other sound hole completely.

Yup that would look good

My photoshop experience is close to zero, I'm not able to reshape the elevated scratchplate, neither to make it transparant.

Not sure if a transparant one would suit my taste, I kind of like the shape and the whiteness against the black.

would look better on a 330.360s are so last year

It's been tried before

True that; maybe just a smaller one in the same shape? I dunno; just an idea; it looks cool even as the way you've designed it.

Hypothetically speaking Werner your a numpty ill tell ya after my curry last night i wish id had two sound holes.

Poor Scott, victim of 330cism

I'll try to photoshop a smaller scratchplate in.

Graham, that one has the elongated soundholes. Neither their shape,
the shape of the scratchplate, or the position of the knobs on the 360 F II I like.
I love the 360 F Version I a lot - but,
I do like the idea of a second soundhole though!

Scott, a numpty me? I thought that was reserved as honourary title for Flying Scottmen?

Werner,Graham uses them as firewood hes that many...

Yeah, some people have all the fun, while others have to be content delicing their 330 in the kitchen

I'll see if I can make a scratchplateless edit first.

Here's an old version I posted 3 or 4 years ago...........poor photoshop skills, but you get the idea
