As far as I am aware, no original shiny bowl 12-strings had the same rosette as the early balladeers. But I could be wrong - | ||

Earliest ones were white on black background, then they switched to black on white background. Classic and Josh White had the geometric zig-zag rosette but changed to the floral rosette in late 67. Deluxe Balladeer and 12-String Balladeer had the floral rosette from the start. The Glen Campbell versions also had floral. | ||
