When Is More, Less?

I was thinking today, "How do you know where to stop with pretties?".
For instance, i have noticed that a lot of guitars have one or two f-holes. An f-hole is a hole through a musical instrument to let sound out. It is not required on a solid body electric guitar because the sound comes from the pick-ups. However, I think they look kinda cool. How do you know what looks best? One f-hole, two f-holes? When is something added a good thing, and at what point does it become a bad thing? I don't think that 3 , or 7 f-holes would look good. Is that just 'cause I have never seen it?

Michelangelo's Statue of David is nude, but Leonardo's Mona Lisa is clothed, would they be as good of art if she were naked and David were clothed? Are they famous simply because of the artist? my mind is cluttered..

more on pretties later
