Newbie here... Just got a '12 American Standard Tele. Lovin it!

So I pull of the American Standard sticker off the white pick guard, and it left all this gunk behind. posting.php?mode=post&f=6#

I'm reading about using lighter fluid and a cotton cloth to get it off. Don't want to ruin it.

Is that the best way to go from the vets out there?

Thanks much.

lighter fluid or naphtha works very well for that. but that sticker is usually on top of the protective plastic film. did you peel that off yet?

Congrats on the new Tele, many years of enjoyment.....

As for the little stickers on the neck plate, if they leave a residue just use a little GooGone on it, and it'll come right off.....
