I know they call it "permanent marker" for a reason but....
Re: I know they call it "permanent marker" for a reason but....
I concur on re-using a permanent marker (Sharpie). It will dissolve itself. Just wipe fast before it redries. It will at minimum get a majority off I'd say.

Yeah Tekky's goo may be like radioactive toxic waste ....probably melt the whole headstock
Tekky try it and if it works..... you can wack your bag into a big vat everday and we can dump it on that Iraqi shithole... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
You can single handly win the war with your Toxic Goo ....you would be a hero ...the kind you read about in history books centuries from now..
all this trying to get a sharpee stain off your axe.. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

And then follow up with some "Goof-Away" - that keeps goofballs from using a Sharpie on it again [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Or if you go the sperm route, just remember to use Goo-Gone to remove it as well [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Ummm, you guys who recommend fighting Sharpie with Sharpie ever wonder what that pleasant aroma of a Sharpie is? Alcohol [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
That's also why it dries farily quickly.

I think TEKKY got ripped off by some kid selling it as a USA Dinky using a CD marker to cover it up. That's an old trick! Only newbies fall for that [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">In some ways you're right and in others you were a litte off. Yes, I believe I did get ripped off. While I could blame the seller, I also realize that I shoulder a lot of blame myself.
The guitar was not represented as a USA Dinky, however it was misrepresented. The seller represented it as a Dinky Reverse. Of which I have 3 others. In actuality this is a parts guitar at best and most of the parts in fact, came from a Dinky Reverse. There were clues that I chose to ignore. [*]Clue 1: No scallop on the heel or the lower horn[*]Clue 2: Chrome knobs (Dinky Reverses and DR5s had black hardware)[*]Clue 3: Trans-amber finish. None of the Dinky Reverses or DR5s had this finish. [*]Clue 4: Despite the distance in the picture in the ad, upon closer observation, there are holes for the pickup rings on the face of the body.
So overall, my man-goo is more of a problem than a solution. I got gung-ho about this guitar and didn't think very much (or clearly) before I whipped out my wallet.
Remember this kids... "A fool and his money are soon parted."
Re: I know they call it "permanent marker" for a reason but....
Don't feel bad Tekky - I thought I scored a Killer RG-Prime (or at least one of the lower models) a while back in a backdoor deal for $250 (bidding at the time was about half that, with a few days left to go).
Turns out it's a copy of some sort. It's got a KNOTHOLE in the back of the neck [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
It's small, but it's there and not something you'd find on a "reputable" brand - even an LTD.
There's other things that make it very different from a real Killer - such as the see-through trem-cavity-to-bridge-pickup route [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img] and the top horn is not cut the same as every other Killer I've seen since then (trying to find info on them is like trying to find Jimmy Hoffa).
But the rest of the body looks legit (shape-wise). The heel also looks like the ESP/LTD Lynch heels, and the neck bolts have ferrules instead of a plate.
It's definitely wierd, but I thought it was a real one at the time. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
Ah well, live and learn.
