    I've had my Hirade TH90 for fifteen years, and it has proven to be the best purchase of it's kind I've ever made. The workmanship is flawless, playability is divine, and the acoustic sound is near concert quality. When it's amplified, there's nothing like it. I have five electric classical guitars at the moment, and I've sampled some of the custom-made, high-end ones too. The Hirade compares very favorably, and it costs thousands less. The instrument first came to my attention when I saw other professionals using it and getting a great sound, so I got one and have never been sorry. You won't be, either.

    do they make a soundhole cover for the TH90? Perhaps with its preamp and plaetetic pickup it isn't bothered with feedback?

    Absolutely. With no mic, you have no feedback.
