Jim, your 75 rosette is very similar to mine but instead of the green lines, it is the black dots.

May I ask if you have measured the actions of your Reyeses at 12th fret? (sorry if I am going off topic here). Mine seems a little high but I know I have room to lower it but I know Reyes ususally tends to leave a high action compared to other flamenco guitar makers.

The 75' is 2.5mm and my 87' is a touch higher, but I don't know how 'original' these settings are.

The 87 rosette is one of my favorites. Beautiful.
