Aaah, but you see, that's not exactly new. Several Gretsch models - going back decades - have featured the faux F holes on their hollow bodies. Whether you dig it or not is certainly a personal preference thing, but it's not something new that they just started doing. :wave:

Yep, the f(aux)-holes are to resist feedback. I had an old Tennessean with(out) them.

 

They'll still feed back. I mean, it's not a completely sealed chamber - there are holes for the pickups, the three knobs and the three switches. They still sound hollow, too. Nice guitars.
