Sorry, not finding a match.

Are the images you posted from a debut model of the guitar, circa 1966?

If so, there is the distinct possibility that the type was hand lettered, not typeset. It wasn’t uncommon in that era for display type to be hand rendered, especially given those “speed” or “wind” line embellishments.

Similar: Bad Hawk, Leg Hug (free for personal use only), Pawl Skinny Bold, Filmotype Ginger

Thanks for your time hunting down. You might be right. But I think “motion” effects were added on to the existing font. It looks like condensed form of some font. My search continues..

 

NOASARCK font has very close S, but I am wondering if I can find THE font
