If you mean a Martin 12 fret Dreadnought it's 4". |

It's specifically a slope dread. I have a tracing I took from a 1973 12 string, but I didn't note the soundhole size. My rough hewn cardboard soundhole cutout isn't precise enough to trust. I could see how being a dread, the standard 4" would apply, but I could also see how with the extra air volume that a 4 1/8" SH could help avoid some boominess... I'll try the first one at 4" and modify if needed.... |
