Removing logo's from pickups

[LesPaulCustom]

<font color="yellow">Is there a way to safely remove the logo's from pickups??

I seem to remember a post a long time ago addressing this, but I can't recall when it was tho [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img].

I have a couple of Duncans that have the logo, and I want to remove it.

What is the best way to do that [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/help.gif[/img]??

Thanks </font>

I used a little bit of the old lady's nail polish remover on a cotton patch and it came off in seconds. Not too much, you don't wanna soak the coils bro. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'll have to ask Mrs LPC if I can raid her stash [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Actually, we each have our own bathroom, and I don't know where any of her stuff is [img]/images/graemlins/refuse.gif[/img]

Use BRASSO (a brass cleaner)

Nailpolish remover can leave a slight haze

i've heard about brasso, myself, but can't find it anywhere. bret (slo100) recommends it highly (which carries a lot of weight with me). where can you get it?

the acetone in the nail polish remover would concern me that it would leave a bit of a haze like naptha does.

Sully, you can get Brasso in grocery stores. Ball-Mart. Target. Places like that. Got any of them in Big D? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Brasso should ring a bell with Sam, he is a Marine, you know.

Actually, I meant the other direction: not horses, I meant that I don't think Neiman Marcus or Saks or the places like that (like you have in Dallas) carry it. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Removing logo\'s from pickups

Does nail polish remover have acetone? I thought it was isopropanol. If it does have acetone definitely beware: that stuff'll eat right through plastic if you're not careful.

I have used toothpaste and a Q-tip and it worked like a charm. The next dental checkup for my Duncans are in 3 months

hammer and chisel...instant relic'd pickup. You charge more for it if you decide to sell it becuase it will be a "custom" piece.
