My Cornerless was Cut as well but because the Scroll was too far forward from the previous and poorly done Neck graft. All is corrected now. The Scroll repaired 100% and ready for varnish to match and the angle perfect for an Ebony extension to be cut around the Scroll as it should be.
I recently inspected a fine old English bass only to notice the Scroll was cut for the extension. This was sad because there was plenty of room to cut the Extension to fit around the Scroll. The Luthier (NOT one of mine) was too lazy and was even proud to stamp his name in the extension. Looks more like it reads "this fine pedigree Scroll BUTCHERED proudly by
Xxxx Xxxxx".
