I guess the badge stays. I can't even get a thread under an edge! My guess is that the badge was set in place while the finish was still tacky. Bummer. And trying to get customer service to respond is a joke. Oh well. I'll live with it. Thanks for all the help.

Not yet. I tried to slide a blade under one edge. This thing is adhered all the way to the edges. Could they have set it on the sealer while still wet?

I'll try the fishing line next. I have a roll of PowerPro downstairs. Strong stuff. I hope this thing is not on with SuperGlue!

I just tried the hairdryer. Got it pretty warm. Can't get it to move at all. Even tried getting the edge of a blade under it. No go. It looks like stamped aluminum but I think it's plastic. One things for sure, it is on there!

Hey All, Just stumbled on this site and looking for help. Searched high and low on the web for info regarding removal of a headstock badge. Nothing out there except "removal or applying decals". I recently picked up an AXL SRO, don't laugh, this thing plays, looks, and sounds great. Seriously! But...it has a butt ugly, metal looking headstock badge thats gotta go! It is not screwed on. Appears to be held in place by strong two sided tape? Any thoughts on how to remove it without damaging the finish? The headstock in natural. Thanks!
