SteveCrisis Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ionised water or lighter fluid work well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 +1 for lighter fluid. Also cleans up rosewood fingerboards rather well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Of Fudge Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 the only thing i know about guitars is that lighter fluid's the stuff for stickers.so i'll repost that information in order to feel as though i've been useful.

framheim Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 good shit, i will try that later this evening. thanks folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveCrisis Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'll have to buy some for myself too as my zippo has just ran out:down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 good shit, i will try that later this evening. thanks folks!As said previously, lighter fluid, also get one of those scrapers for getting ice off your windscreen, it'll scrape the stickers right off and won't scratch the paintwork (if you're careful).

Soda Jerk Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 White spirit works a bit better than lighter fluid I find. Won't damage the paintwork either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 White spirit works a bit better than lighter fluid I find. Won't damage the paintwork either.don't mind damaging the paintwork really, it's my squire that's covered in stickers from my yoof. damaging the paintwork might improve it's looks.

Soda Jerk Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 In that case, get a wall paper scraper. Or get a dab of sand paper and give it a right good wad of elbow-grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Of Fudge Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 or a blowtorch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveCrisis Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 On second thoughts a large floor space and work area and a 30lb sledge hammer ought to do the trick. Great exercise for your shoulder muscles too:up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've been told by quite a few folk that lighter fluid will remove stickers from a guitar. You should try that Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
