Decalmania decals available anywhere?
I have a 1930's parlor guitar I'd like to refinish. Obviously the decals would have to go to do this. Does any know if there are reproduction ones out there? I haven't been able to come up with anything.

Some people use water-slide decals for headstock logos. You can print them on ink jets or laser printers.

I know I've got a long ways to go before I need the decals, but I thought maybe someone on a small scale was reproducing this type of decal for restored "decalmania" guitars. I'd really like to refinish this one after the repairs. It'd be especially nice to be able to put the original looking decals back on. I may see if some of the local print/logo/sign type shops can reproduce this some how. I've seen nothing like this anywhere via Google and e-bay.

If the decals aren't on top of the finish, another option might be to clean the existing finish - sanding, de-gooing - and then applying a top coat to what you have, perhaps shellac/French polish. That could leave the original appearance of it, and would likely be a lot less invasive.
