Does anyone know how the gold stencil on older Washburn, Oahu and Kay's was applied? I don't think they could have been hand painted. Here is an example: http://www.resohangout.com/archive/9844 Does anyone know of someone selling kits to reproduce this (silk screen, applique ?) Thanks, GS |

My guess is they were done with the old style "Rub on" transfers. |

This is a process I have heard called "decalcomania", which is defined as a transfer of a design off of paper. I always had the impression it was like the decals we used to put on model airplanes. Ed |

I wonder if is one piece and covers the whole top and then finish put over the top. I have an Oahu 71k, and I don't see a seam anywhere. Have you run across anyone still making these? |
