but becareful when you use it. The one I bought happens to marks the finish on my guitar's neck. I used it several times before realising it. The cejilla is just sitting on my table top collecting dust now.
Lots of the type with the thin wire around it do that .....
Once I was looking at an old guitar in my freinds house in Jaen and this guitar was really old , not playable any more , maybe a hundred years , I dont remember , museum stuff ..
Anyway I was looking at all the marks on the back of the neck , caused by the cejillas and maybe the hand as well , thinking that for a large part of its life it had a cejilla on the 3rd and 4th fret areas , maybe dance and women singing ,..... I thought it was cool though to have a kind of life reference printed into it , however i know what you mean with a brand new guitar .....
Nice cejilla! Tony does excellent work. No worries about the cord he uses marking the neck. It might make a light roughness to fresh french polish, but I have never seen them make a dent even in soft Spanish cedar. I had three of Tony's and sold them when I started making my own. I use a shoe string instead of the cord and it flattens out when tight and doesn't even mark recent french polish. Here is my latest.

My father owned an original one from the first half of the 20th century. It used a nylon string for the windings which was partially joined/guided by a stroke of leather protecting the back of the neck.
