[COLOR="DarkRed"]Who knows why ?....could'a been rivet holes and a couple developed cracks so someone widened a few ~ then thought it looked stupid ~ so widened the rest...or they may have just been put there for some other reason.
I'd imagine it has no effect on the sound...but IMHO it IS a bit of a bummer....I mean, in the least, they could have been equally spaced all around. I hate it when folks cannot even pull that off, and you see it all the time with post-factory drill jobs....
Duh....line up the FIRST hole with the CENTER hole, and that tells you where to put the hole opposite it ! Soap Box
I dunno if it could fetch $400 really...$300 certainly, $325 up maybe.....
Nevertheless, considering it as a throw-in included with a kit, that's a nice find....[/COLOR]
