Ooops... Thought they used the same rules ... but that was fetish focus
... I don't really feel like reading the rules right now .... can you
stack it as if it was a R 1 Focus that normally takes 1 day to enchant?

yeah I realized that and was wondering if there was any way to make them
more durable ... (enchanting fetishes are cheap anyway IIRC)

I would say the centering focus improves your ability to center with that
skill, not your ability to perform that skill ... so it wouldn't apply
... However, it /might/ apply for determining what kind of Impact (see
Shadowbeat) astrally percieving audience members got out of it ...

Well, It's a starting char with a bit of a quandry ... according to
grimmy rules for centering skill, I think guitar has to be the general
skill. If I use shadowbeat, Musical Instrument is the general skill.
With the grimmy version, can't have more than 6 dice in the general
guitar ... also I was low on cash ... bought a Sasquatch buddy (the char
& the sasquatch just jam every once in a while ... no performances) and a
dilapidated factory with the most of the roof missing (for her stone
circle ... she's a moon druid) ... and an electric car (with suncell) ...
all that stuff was `spensive ...
