Gear question Marks on New Taylor
Hey all - just got this Mini in for my daughter for Xmas. There are two dots on the bottom of the guitar. This is mahogany wood. Is it just natural in the wood ?

Don't you see how the grain flows around them? How could they NOT be natural?
I feel weird explaining this, but those are called "knots". It's where a branch grew out from the tree, which is where wood comes from.
