People will see this guitar and unfortunately from my experience with my first guitar people just seem to love finding things which don't really matter in the end. Dont bother brother... Dont think to much about what other people think. Judge yourself and dont be to hard on your self.. The flaw is absolutely minor and close to nothing. Almost all guitars have some kind of flaw. Its more or less impossible to build a perfect guitar. Remember that sound and playability is what counts. In my experience, the people liking to find things that dont really matter, are the ones who play very little. The players, first judge the guitar as an instrument and then they take a look at cosmetics. I went to the Peña here in Huelva last friday and took a guitar with me to show to José Louis Postigo who was here to play. He´s considered one of the best guitaristst with cante . He has two guitar shops and is a colector of Reyes, Barba and Conde (and others). We talked a bit, I gave him the guitar, he sat down and played it a bit, looking for its sweet spot, then gave it a few minuts of different palos. Then he talked about the sound which he found to be very authentical and andaluz, saying it was a surpice that I, a foreigner had captured that spirit so well. He comented that it was very comfortable... And THEN he started looking at it, design, rosette, colour, workmanship and was very possitive. That was very nice. I liked very much that he´s way of "judging" my guitar. Very professional but also kind. Be proud of your work. I dont know how many guitars you have made, but dont judge yourself to hard. Its allowed to be human and make errors.
