Hi David, I would like to buy the right to one engraving on the neck plate of a guitar I am building with the “Lion of Judah” illustration. This guitar is a one of a kind that I am building for myself. I love reading how this illustration came to be! God is good!! I am prepared to pay for one print as basically that’s all that it will be with your permission. With so many just copying, I know I need to compensate you and also get your permission. God bless, Tony Phillips
