A "standard" rosette in the Ndebele tribal artwork style, using triangular wood pieces of mixed earth tones.

I prefer to custom-make all my Rosettes from the traditional, to the Italian, Spanish and French style, and others. Maingard Guitars offer an exciting selection of trim details, from basic black and white lines, to exotic Caribbean and African snailshell. Optional features may also include ornate hand engraving, inlays of delicate Mother of Pearl and Abalone, silver, gold and other metals, and even diamonds. Customizing can also be achieved by the use of hand-dyed woods in vibrant colours for distinctly African-style Rosettes.
