Keep in mind, Woody had that on his guitar for years. If the slogan is what's important to you, you have more options than just this one photo.

Response by poster: I've seen several photos of Woody with the slogan on his various guitars, and this one, in particular, stands out to me.

Thanks.

Here's a similar pic ... you can order a print of this photo from the Library of Congress

As others have written, Guthrie had this slogan on his guitar for years and years, so there are many pix of it. It's not always the same guitar, by the way, and it looks like he often just taped or painted it on when the spirit moved him.

The pic I pointed you to is described as follows:

Woody Guthrie, half-length portrait, facing front, playing guitar]. New York World Telegram and Sun Collection, Prints and Photographs Division. Reproduction Number: LC-USZ62-120588.

Looks to be copyright free. Here's a link to the citation page with info on ordering.

What size and resolution are "high" enough for you? What is your intended use?
Photoshop with Genuine Fractals might be able to help, somewhat.
