Those electric acoustics don't need a soundhole, do they?

Yes. Very important for any wood hollow body guitar

It wasn't an alter-ego by any means. He was to release the record and a movie was to be released with Chris Gaines as the main character.

It may not have been an alter-ego, but I think it was an ego trip. He hosted SNL during this--he was the host and "Gaines" was the musical guest.

Yep, here's part of a 1999 CNN article which refers to the movie, The Lamb, as upcoming...

Gaines, the lead character in a yet-to-be-made film "The Lamb," is a fictional rock icon who began his music career as a member of an '80s one-hit wonder band, went on to a Grammy-winning solo career and then mysteriously died.

Brooks' "Chris Gaines" album is designed as a tease to the film. It's a 14-song greatest-hits collection in which Brooks sings in the guise of Gaines.

He's approaching the project with some humility: "I surrounded myself with people that knew what hip and cool was," he tells The Associated Press, "since I don't." The album was a collaboration with veteran producer Don Was (he also worked with Brian Wilson, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan) and impresario Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Much of the album was written by Gordon Kennedy, Wayne Kirkpatrick and Tommy Simms.

Brooks has acknowledged that he put the first album together so that audiences could get familiar with the Gaines character before the movie, slated for a December 2000 release. But he says that passion, not marketing, is what's driving him on this project.

I will never understand the attraction of "whiskey lullaby". Must be a lot of folks living with the pain of alcoholism
