Don't despair!! Not all is lost. Infact I can guarantee you, that if you use this product as I have been for years, you will be able to restore your nice shiny lacquer to showroom condition. Everyone who has seen my basses will tell you that even my oldest one (the '86 PRS) looks brand new.

You can buy this product on ebay at this link [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Guitar-Scratch-Remover-Kit-Free-Micro-Fibre-Cloth-/220913610856?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item336f7a3068"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item336f7a3068[/url]

and you can read all about it and see videos of it in action on the manufacturer's website link here: [url="http://www.guitarscratchremover.com/"]http://www.guitarscratchremover.com/[/url]

Trust me it really works!

use a hair dryer to remove the stickers, that will help you geting them off easyer and in one piece.

any kitchen oil like olive or sunflower on a bit of cotton will easy remove the residual glue.

use scratch remover if necessary and buff with some polish.

Mayonnaise is also very effective at removing sticker goo and won't damage the underlying finish or require you to handle everything with gloves on, unlike some of the solvents being suggested here. At least no-one has suggested trichloroethylene yet!

And if it's not going well you can make a delicious sandwich, sit back, soak up the vibes and wonder where it all went wrong.
