Guus Meeuwis, an unknown singer from the netherlands... has this guitar, that has soundholes that resemble a violin. I just wanted to know what the build was called... and if anyone knew any brandnames.

I've seen a few guitars with that sort of style of soundhole. I've never seen any big-name brands carry such a guitar, but I enjoy browsing the guitar sites. If I happen upon a guitar of that style, I'll send the link your way.

F-holes are insanely popular with good country musicians and jazz players.

I believe I saw a Gibby with F-holes once. And they are quite popular with country/bluegrass musicians. One of the guys from the band The Wilders plays one.

It's just called an archtop. Occassionally you'll see an old archtop with both f-holes and a soundhole, but they're fairly uncommon. Because they usually have a very under-stated warm tone, they're often preffered by acoustic jazz-players. I have a 1949 Gibson L-50 and a 1934 Harmony Master. Both have really nice mellow sounds but do not have the power of a flat-top with a soundhole.

I played a 50 year old Gibson with the F holes. Sounded pretty nice.
