I botched up the rosette on my latest so I just flipped the board over and re did one on the other side. I'll hide the dud with a thin spruce patch, brace up and no one will ever know...... just my guilty secret. What mistakes have you cleverly hidden?...Well one that you can admit to.  Bill S. |

I very much doubt that you are the first to do that. If it was a Classical you could just flip it over and cover it with the doughnut. Afraid all my mistakes would compromise the server memory. |

Maybe in 50 years, some dude will have to do a restore on your guitar. Imagine the guy ungluing the top and then: OM*G, they're a sub-rosette. He will think he just discovered a great secret, and then begin to do it on all his instrument, keeping the secret, and the whole story will happen 50 years after. dang, you're gonna be part of history.

It might be a good idea to glue a cross grain patch over the inside rosette. The strength of the rosette area will be impaired, for sure. Edit. OOOPS! I see you already thought of that... Sorry |
