soundhole cover for parlor guitar?

Post by starmansam »

I'm installing a cool old kent pickup in a 1960's framus parlor guitar I have, and it looks like the easiest way to do this without making any permanent mods to the guitar would be to install the pickup in a soundhole cover. the trouble is I cant seem to find any for the 3 inch sound hole on this thing. anyone know where smaller covers can be found?

Can you get someone to make one for you?

Probably. I was really just looking to see if anyone knew a quick solution that I had overlooked. If I can't find one I'll just go ahead and make something.

I don't think I've ever really looked for soundhole covers. So, I don't really know what's available. I'd think with a small soundhole like on a parlor guitar, you may have a difficult time finding something. Maybe check someplace like Elderly Instruments. That might be something they stock.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up grabbing a planet waves sound port thing, since it is cheap and comes in a small size. It might make the guitar a feedback machine, but it's worth a shot I think.
