removing the headstock logo

[king_xanadu]

i have a Squier vmj
before i go any further i do not wanna remove the logo just because its a Squier
i want a clean look
and i may put my own logo there
i heard using a hairdryer would work
has any one done this before?

soak the bass in boiled vinegar & salt mixture for about 6 hours...

then use a paint scraper, starting at the bridge and working your way up the fretboard until you reach the headstock

finally, apply an oxy-acetylene torch to the pickguard...


the other alternative is to leave it alone...the Squier logo is cool

just sand it off with 220. the logo is only under 1 or 2 layers of clear. then take off the tuners and tape off the fretboard and spray with poly in a can.
