waynepunkdude Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yo homeslices How do I go about removing the Squier logo from the headstock on my VMJ? CHEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Why do that? after all, it IS a squier! Decal - what an american word! Not sure the best way to do it - careful use of varnish remover on the whole front face having masked it off maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Depending on the finish I have actually scratched one off with a fingernail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good many transfers are printed with spirit-based (i.e. alcohol) inks. Failing that, 1500 grit wet & dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you do the whole of the front of the headstock evenly - if you only do the area above the decal it will be very difficult to get the new finish even, and you will be left with a shadow where the old logo was. But personally I would leave it as it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
