I didn't use any steam. I just really took my time.

I was told that the epoxy ovation uses does not react to steam. I worked very slow and the first time I heard the epoxy crack I thought I broke something. Not a good sound.

I didn't use any tools for the Rosette. I worked around the sound hole putting slight upward pressure with my fingers until I found a weak spot. And then worked on both sides of the weak spot until it was free.

Be careful. You run the risk of really screwing up your guitar. This was my first time doing anything like this and I just got LUCKY!

rededdie,....on my CL (strings 0.12-0.54), as you see, her also hump at the end of the fretboard, it's only a cosmetic problem. The CL is easy plaiyng until the last fret (certainly not Al Di Meola), although those in position by I'm not going never .For this result, I went to a very good luthier(maybe the best in my region), for the set-up at frets and neck (and shims)....

Titti, I don't have a CL mine is an 1117 legend. Deep bowl, Bolt on neck K-bar truss. I can easily play to the 15th fret before there is any problems so as I said before it is cosmetic only, however a little more severe than yours.
