When Ulysses Busch, from Hollywood, FL, noticed that he was getting feedback from amplified acoustic guitars, he didn’t want to use the traditional rubber sound hole plug to stop it. Instead, he found a beautiful new way to solve that problem by inventing a device that in a few short years has made its way to the highest echelons of professional music.
The Lute Hole is a hand-carved, custom fitted, wooden plug that stops feedback as well as making even the cheapest guitar look like a museum piece from the renaissance age. And it does that with and extremely low price tag—Lute Holes begin in the $40 range, though they can run to well over a hundred, depending on detailing and customization.
