It is hard to keep up with Ben's pace, but the next step was the rosette. Now Ben's guitars normally have a very minimal rosette as he likes to keep his tops clean, simple, beautiful. It was with some trepidation that I got him to agree to do something a little outside the box for me, but now that he did it, he completely agrees that I was right and he should listen to my every wish from now on until all is said and done (well that might be a bit of an exaggeration on my part, but hey, I am the customer).
Ben did a radial Cocobolo rosette that we both think came out really nicely!
