I really differ on the look inside the sound hole of the Emeralds. I LOVE the look of mine and don't feel it is distracting in the least. It's black weave, extremely clean and neatly done, smooth to the touch. The weave matches the weave on the top except for the color. It's so dark it just doesn't stand out at all.
I wouldn't want it painted inside anymore than I would want the inside of my old wood guitars painted over just because they were raw wood inside and had no gloss finish. I never was distracted by the raw wood interiors, occasional extra glue and so forth, even though they were less neat than my Emerald.
Anyway, we each have different tastes when it comes to appearance, I guess.
