    @Joe___R Před 13 dny +2

    I understand why companies would think leaving the top of the rosette open would be the best for the top. But it actually creates a weak point. The rosette is not just a decorative feature but a structural one that is needed to reinforce the top around the sound hole. That is why it should be made around the entire whole, not just what is visible.

    • @michaellihs3528
      @michaellihs3528 Před 9 dny

      That makes little sense, since there is both, the fingerboard glued to the top and reinforcements on the inside of the guitar glued to the top that strengthens the soundboard in the area where there is no rosette inlay. Compared to fingerboard and bracing the rosette adds very little reinforcement to the top.
