chunkielad Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 It is most probably screen printed so a bit of a rub with cutting paste should take it off without too much of a problem. Just be careful not to hit the rest of the logo. If it is under the laquer, I would mask the area and spray it black then do one more coat of clear over the whole headstock.

ryanb Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 It will be paint under the clear ... so there is no way to remove it without removing the clear first. You could try the black-then-clear approach or just refinish the whole peghead. Or leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
