I believe those were invented by the guy from Groove Tubes.

In my opinion the effect is pretty negligible. Maybe it'd work better if you've got dead spots on the neck or something?

IDK. I think a reversed F hole might have looked better.

I dig the binding and the lack of contour on those Jags, but yeah, the f-hole doesn't look quite right to me either... Too traditional or something.
And slightly off-topic, but there are also these Fat Head brass plates for increasing sustain:

So, I guess I'm the only one who digs the f-hole.

Yeah, I believe that Fat Head came first in the chronology, but not too many people wanna attach a brass plate to their headstock. (Imbalances the weapon.) So, he invented the Fat Finger. Not so much of a commitment. I would imagine that the Fat Head works a little better, being that it's a greater mass and such.
