Un fortuately this item is too low poly and I'm not smart enough to fix it.
Would any of these Spanish guitars be close enough:

A "Spanish guitar" is what we would just call a guitar (as opposed to a steel or Hawaiian guitar). A guitarron is actually a bass instrument, with a much larger body than a regular guitar and a very short, fretless neck.
Maybe you can Frankenstein monster a guitarron by blowing up a Guitar body, then affixing a separate guitar neck & strings?
It would depend on how much you could edit out on Surfaces or the geometry editor.
I'd be interested in knowing where you have found all of the things you need. :)
A bare minimum Mariachi band will have a guitar, a trumpet, a violin, and the guitarron. As they grow larger they just add more of all of these and perhaps include a harp. There is nothing like the rousing music put out by these instruments especially if you are in an enclosed space.
Actually, a truly proper Mariachi band would have a vihuela rather than a guitar. Fortunately, one of those is available in Props of Mexico.
I'd also love to see a bajo sexto.
Been watching this thread for some time with great interest. Bought the guitarron from cgtrader and while subdividing it in D|S works, it messes up the surfaces (not too much of a problem) and the strings. So am learning Blender and seeing if I can fix it there as that was the original source.
Useful reference for the size comparison of mariachi stringed instruments:
The article it came from: Mariachi Instruments Guitar Players Should Know About
Apropos of nothing am learning Blender not just to get the Guitarron to work: I originally downloaded a free harp guitar but it wouldn't texture properly in D|S and Richard pointed out that it may not be UV mapped. I also feel for @cclesue because I spent days looking for an electric cello for a stringed quintent (similar to Bond, although they're a quartet) for a narrative I'm working on.
