Thanks, Bob... The artwork was applied sometime between 1892 and 1916... The top and headplate are made from the soundboard of a Steinway piano. I've build 15 or 20 guitars and ukes with old sound boards... this is the only one with the the decal intact.
Do you have a sound sample?
Very cool, btw.

I wish I could say that was my idea... I saw it on a guitar somewhere... I do all the ukes and nylon string guitars like that now.That's a really neat way that the strings are tied at the bridge. Is that your design?
