    Pretty positive they were painted on. Occasionally a template shows up on eBay.

    There are Gibson logo stickers on eBay all the time. The problem will be finding that style logo. Mostly it's the electric guitar age. With that said, if it's actually a Gibson instrument you can get it inlaid on the headstock.

    It would be easy to trace the logo from that photo in a vector graphics program; then if you know someone with a cricut machine you could make one.
    I'd offer to do it for you, but I don't have a cricut machine.

    You could be right. The G and o looks like they were were made for painting with a template
