I think I have it now. To remove stickers from my guitar I must do the following:

Strip naked and tuck a hot soldering iron behind my ear. Scrub my body with 00000 steel wool, douse myself with lighter fluid and then light the BBQ while holding my guitar. The stickers should come off easily. Correct? ;D

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"

A much simpler solution is to just leave the stickers alone, for God's sake. ;)

Woohoo! warmest I've been all week! Aside from the 3rd degree burns, no eyebrows and the fact that Sinead O'Connor has more hair than I do now. The stickers came off quite easily. Although the guitar is a bit charred now.  ;D I did make a really cool FWOOMP! sound when I tripped my lighter.  ;D

*Disclaimer*
No animals, actual humans, nor the environment was harmed during the above experiment. Please do not try this at home

TF. It's not nice to tell lies. You're a Drummer, aren't you?

I knew it! I felt a great disturbance in the Force. 8)

A drummer. And there is another. Your emotions betray you, TF.

Sister !! You have a sister. She, too, shall be found out.
For your sake, I do hope that Emporer Nick does not discover your treason to GN. He is not so forgiving as I am. ;D

Preston gives this speech to everyone - he did it to me once, instead lambasting my leftiness. ;)

Okay, getting slightly back on topic......  Is there anyway to remove stickers w/out damaginf them?  Like if you got a nicer guitar and wanted to move your stickers from the old guitar to it?

Stupidity is wit for the simple-I think I made that up

not that I know of.  You could heat them, but you risk damaging the finish.

How did this post escape me for so long?  Oh my, what a read!  I think we have a bunch a pyromaniacs out there.  Nick, could you send me some of that "non-flammable lighter fluid?"  I have to quit smoking while drinking.  And, seeing that I drink quite a bit while playing, that non-clammable lighter fluid may actually save me from scorching myself or cancer.  What a fine innovation.  Isn't that stuff sold by Torres, Inc. under the name NFLF?

Wish me luck tonight.  I'm getting Ronsonol lighter fluid to de-grime my SG.  I hope I don't make a mistake and burn my place down.  I've been known to make a wicked flame with my grill charcoal starters.  Public Service:  if you use those metal cylynder charcoal starters do not, under any circumstance, use all matchlight and lighter fluid.  I can attest to the "boom" and 8-foot flames that will burn your upstairs neighbor's patio.  Don't ask how this wisdom passed to me.

Nick, I did not realize kerosene was that much more explosive than regular lighter fluid.
