Thank you, John.

Interesting looking as they can be, most of the "slice and dice" rosettes I see fail to do the job that rosettes are intended to do. To me they are the tail wagging the dog. Dog wagging can disminish they efficacy of the guitar in ways that escape the notice of many, and I avoid it in the interest of expanding the capability of our instrument rather than compromising it.
