Default Show off your Rosettes.



Hey guys, i'd like to see some Rosettes on your guitars. there are plenty of nice ones out there.

This is the rosette on my Martin D-16. Simple but got a really nice rustic look and compliments the Mahogany Burst finish wonderfully.

I love your herringbone rosette! (I love herringbone).

My guitars, the CF-100 and the Country Western, just
have, like, concentric circles for rosettes...

My Ken Stika guitar's rosette seems kind of interesting...
It's at the luthier's now, here's a fuzzy picture...

Both simple and elegant, just how I like them.

Here is a rosette from a Madagascar rosewood and red spruce guitar with curly koa bindings and trim. The rosette is abalone bordered with curly koa. One photo is while the guitar was in construction.

My 2003 Lakewood M32 with "magic symbols" option when you use their custom builder.



It's my first acoustic and will have to be buried with me

That's a whole lot nicer than this very plain rosette on my Huss & Dalton MJ Custom!
