matiac Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 CAREFULLY peel off the sticker(s), hit the glue with a rag soaked in HOT water. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpiSheriMan Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hmmmm,...when I first saw the title of this thread I assumed the content was going to be about the pros/cons of removing stickers off Epi headstocks and the affect on re-sale values..... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexygibson Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Best thing I've found for removing sticky residue is alcohol. No; not whiskey or beer. Just plain old rubbing alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpfan Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I would leave them on there so that its all original but thats just me. If you are determined tog et the stickers off of there then you can use a product called "Guitar Honey". This stuff is awesome! Its main use is to for dressing and conditioning the fret board but you can use it to remove decals too. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlinjd Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 the problem with rubbing alcohol is that it leaves a film. hot water n soap. then if you're real picky, some naptha to clean up the soap scum. this solvent is good for guitar finishes. i even use it on violins. it disappears into thin air - just don't stand above it while using it! also, it has a low flash point. meaning just the rubbing of the rag or balling it up and throwing the rag in the garbage can cause a fire. its good for cleaning frets - tends to dry out fingerboards, just follow it with oils. when you're cleaning bridge parts aswell, mix oil and naptha - you see a wikkid chemical reaction, but its only the solvent evaporating. basically, you dip your parts in the naptha/oil mixture, and the solvent evaporates and you're left with a nice thin, consistent oil film! great for bridge parts and a nice way to thin out oil to clean/lube sealed machine heads. naptha - get it in your shop!
