This rosette had a bit of glitch in the "matrix" but I liked it even more than what I had originally designed. Funny how that happens. Not sure what that says about me.

My customer educated me a bit in making this custom order. As the original owner of guitar no66, a wonderful 630 scale guitar, he wanted to go even shorter to a 613.5 scale. I was very skeptical but I am always up for a challenge. Or at least, I am always trying to challenge my beliefs about the nature of the guitar's sound. This one turned out to be a wonderful guitar and certainly leaves no doubt that scale length will never be the determining factor of an instruments loveability and quality.
