I want to fix the first guitar I ever got.
My parents picked it up in Mexico on a trip in 1976. It was a Paracho tourist guitar.
At the time, we had no clue what made a great guitar. I was 13.
It played and made music. Good enough
I almost tossed recently, but want to get it playing again.
It has a pine neck and I will use a couple of carbon rods to get it up to snuff.
Going to use a birdseye fingerboard I got during the LM clearance.
It has a decal I ruined by putting some sticker over it. I'm looking to have one made to recover it.
Any ideas what this font is? It's all appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike

This is what I could find on reverb and what Adobe Capture kicked out as an SVG, it might help get you started . I asked on the font finder group and I asked my all knowing wife. She said due to the age the logo was likely hand drawn so it may be finding the closest font or doing something by hand.

I can email you the higher res versions and the SVG if you think it will help.

You could touch up the existing artwork, photograph it, print it on waterslide decal paper and reapply it after redoing the guitar.
