A customer brought a guitar back to have the finish repaired (she left it in a hot car) and it has a clear pickguard on it, the peel and stick type. What is the best way to remove this for refinishing? |

Richard I just use a haidryer and gently heat it as I peel it away. |

Richard, I just did this on my Bouzouki about 2 weeks ago. I removed it no problem, but it did take some of the finish. I guess I didn't take it slow enough as I heated it. I just refinished the area since it was FP, and now all is good. Good luck, just go slow! Tracy |
