How are Gibson rosettes made?

The top is routed and the inlay material (plastic, wood, pearl, etc) is then glued in place. From what I've always seen. I don't think any Gibson has ever used a decal. I could be wrong. Maybe the C-0 line.

 

 

Here's a C1 with the decal

Thanks for the info, good stuff here. So I'm guessing the inlay must be a piece of plastic like 0.3-0.5mm thick. They then route out the top glue the inlay in and sand flush as far as I understand.

 

The one on mine looks similar to that of the J-45. I'm guessing it's the same procedure for all Gibson guitars then
