I dont insist I am right, just my reaction. I am very interested in seeing how the clear filler works out.

As I stated in an earlier post, I would have gone with a more traditional rosette-maybe herringbone-if I had it to do over. True the curly maple with with the diagonal check purfle is not traditional. Overall, I like the look of the guitar though there is a fair amount going on. Of course I'm biased.
