Does any one recognize this decal? It`s on an el cheapo student sized guitar that a little girl brought to me for some repair. She must have sat on it, or maybe clobbered her brother. There are no markings on this thing other than the decal and the removable saddle to adjust string height. Student size, 23 1/4" scale.

Looks like my dad's Briggs and Stratton roto-tiller, circa 1970

That was about the same time I started putting miles on behind ours. The handles almost came up to my chin!

Oh well, I`m not too concerned about it. Not like I`m gonna try anything spectacular with something so cheaply made. It was more than likely intended for people testing the waters, so to speak. It`s just a sentimental thing for the girl who brought it to me.
Sorta funny, the guitar belonged to her late uncle who used to play it alot, as I can tell from the wear on the frets. He wrote his name on the top in magic marker and it has worn away to the point of being illegible. I told her that I would clean it up for her, and she said not to destroy the name on it. Memories...

Hey Coe,

if you can come up with a way to design it, MicroMark makes decals material I think you can run through your printer

I`ve been watching the winds for something along those lines. If I ever get honored with the title "luthier", I`ll have to come up with a logo anyway.
