How to remove the Duncan logo?

[veliyasin]

I remember having read a thread about this on another forum. Is there an easy way to take the Seymour Duncan logo off without scratching the bobbins?

Toothpaste or Brasso and a bit of elbow grease [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I also heard someone claim that some duct tape would remove a fresh logo (stick and rip). I've never tried this myself as I've never owned any logoed Duncans. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Diluted nail polish remover works... start with 4 parts water to 1 part nail polish remover.
I would not suggest anything stronger than 3 to 1 as it could discolor the plastic.
If you have fast hands... a quick swipe with disc brake cleaner will do it in two seconds flat. Just wipe it real quick with a touch of it on a rag and then with a wet (water only)rag immedietly afterwards. That stuff will disolve plastic if you leave it on too long.

Or you can just buff it off with a light polishing compound and a Dremel.

Or not even bother and just leave it alone. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If you want to remove it, it's your choice, but I've never understood what the big deal is about the logo. They never bothered me..... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

They are the Duncan Distortions on my Edwards "John Sykes" LP. While everything is close to perfection this bothers me. I just want the clean double-black bobbin look.

I never liked the look of logos on open coil pickups either. If I were you I'd do the same. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Just get a black Sharpie marker. That'll fix it! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
