My older brother covered this sweet fender jaguar with blue marker and a mural of kurt cobain sometime in the early 90's. Its mine now, I was wondering what the best way to remove marker without messing up the guitar is? Some of it is on the pickguard, some of it is on the wood.

I've gotten marker off with 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

Really, really light naphtha.
Naphtha comes in lots of grades. Usually the word makes me think of Paint & Varnish Maker's Naphtha, a.k.a. "Mineral Spirits," "Paint Thinner," "Varsol," etc. A little lower boiling range than kerosene.

I suggest that you cover said elder brother in a nice 3-tone sunburst and see how he likes it. :lol:
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?
