Number 4, wow very nicely done. If it sounds as good as it looks you sister got a very nice gift. And with that box I'm sure it sounds great.

Love the look of that box and the neck is just right for it, very slick for sure.

Looks like you used a marker for the drawing and lettering? Looks awesome.

For the writing and design, I just printed it out onto regular paper and used carbon paper to transfer it to the box. My woodburning pen/tool is just a cheap one, but it does have different tips that I can screw into it. I use the finest pointed tip that i have and burn it on just tracing the lines. With that cheap pen/tool you have to really go slow and not put too much pressure or it will kind of dig in and burn a darker/deeper hole in your line. Basically just take your time. When I'm done burning, I very lightly sand it. That seems to make it look a little cleaner, or more defined.

 

Hope this helps!

Wow Sodbrother your burning is so clean it looks like marker to me.  I did not notice any deep burning into the wood.
