It's for ornate purposes only. A very ornate and beautifully crafted Rosette can increase the value of a collectible guitar.

How many dots in the acoustic guitar?

If by "dots" you mean the inlays on the fretboard, it is totally dependent on the guitar. There are traditional locations for the markers, but there's no fixed number on all acoustic guitars. Most guitars have a dot to mark the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 15th, 17th, and 19th frets. Most guitars have two dots to mark the 12th fret. On guitars with more frets, the 21st fret is marked with a single dot and the 24th fret is marked with two. Some guitars also have a single dot or an inlay on the 1st fret. Also, some higher-end guitars have other types of inlays to mark frets and make the guitar look better.


What type of guitar does Taylor Swift play?

Taylor Swift plays only Taylor Guitars for she has become a spokes person for Bob Taylor ever since she was a teenager. Over the years she has appeared with many Taylor Guitar models, I cant count them all, but the reason why is because she is "advertising" Taylor Guitars by playing them at her concerts. She has 3 main guitars which include a Swarovski encrusted Taylor GS6 which was mainly decorated for a video shoots, a custom All Koa psga (AAA koa top, Florentine cutaway and "Taylor" fretboard inlay), and a K65ce "Taylor" fretbboard inlay.

She has been a Taylor Guitar collector ever since she was a teenager. her other models include a 615ce, maple PS-LTD with a tobacco sunburst and Florentine cutaway, a pink T5-S (with flake-top finish), a pair of K65ce's, a custom maple Dreadnought with the "Living Jewels" koi fish inlay, a PSGA, a black SolidBody Classic, 855ce 12 string, white solidbody classic, T5 Koa, a koa solidbody custom. Most of her guitars have her name, Taylor, inlayed on the fretobard. you can visit this link and see a photoshoot from when she was a teenager with all of her guitars http://www.taylorpictures.net/thumbnails.php?album=89


How much is an enrique tapicas acoustic worth and how can you spot a fake?

I don't think you have anything to worry about with concerns of a 'fake' Tapicas. I have an original 'El Cadiz' C40 that I paid $400 US for, and it still looks like a mass production instrument on the inside. It's still better than the latest C40 that Washburn offers today, but there are still some differences you can spot. Mine has a bit on rosette inlay on the bridge, and it lacks the Washburn name on the headstock. The makers label inside still mentions Washburn on it at the bottom, but it's labeled as a Enrique Tapicas guitar.


Where can you get custom inlays for your guitar?

That's a short question with a infinite long answer, there are no right and wrong ways of building your own guitars. You should try researching this on the internet, book shops, music shops. Just keep asking questions. A good place to start is www.stewmac.com, the are a guitar builders company based in the U.S. they have many links to builders and books about building guitars.
