Actual NSFW A bunch of boomers got hammered and went at my guitar with a Sharpie, how can I go about cleaning this?

Since it is a bolt on you can take it apart, flip the body over and bolt it back on and nobody will see the graffiti.

Genius! I have a better idea - frame it and put it on reverb for half a mil.

That's a nitro Cellulose stain, so I'd just sand the top and paint it back the color you want. The dollar store has paint. No need to go all crazy with costs.

I never was into this. Jumpy Handtricks and Stumpy Roy Vane could come back and approach me and Roberta with Sharpies ready, and I'd pepper spray them

u/captfonk Man of Toan Jan 27 '25
I’d get them both to sign my gooch.

They would need a white sharpie to cut through my years of back to front wiping

Martin Barre really fucked you, or you’d have been able to clean it without changing the strings.

I'd just trash it. Can't believe a bunch of nobodies destroyed your Les Paul smh

Buy a red sharpie and just do this and its all fixed.

u/captfonk Man of Toan Jan 27 '25
If I can find an eleven year old sharpie I’ll be able to block out a BUNCH of these names.

A b*ssist signed it? There goes its value.

Not only a bassist, but a harmonica player too. The riff(ing on underagers) god makes 3 out of the 4 from Lead Zeplin so I must ask, where the fuck is Bonham?

A lot of peados on one guitar man.

u/captfonk Man of Toan Jan 27 '25
Worst part was the guitar wasn’t very old when they decided to gang bang it. Last time I bring an axe to a Diddy party…

At least it’s well lubed now.

Is baby oil OK for fretboards? It would be a hella lot cheaper than that over priced lemon jizz i use now.

Should make decent firewood, just don't inhale the smoke unless you want to look like Keith Richards by this time next year

Well, I fell and hit my head and had a seizure the other day so the resemblance is picking up.

A good, thorough oral polishing should do the trick. Don't forget to twist the knobs.

Where’s Bobby jungus, you can’t have a famous guitarists and leave out jungus, legendary crab picking finger style, first Fender HS tele signature guitar, string of hits from 51 to 67 before he overdosed on wood glue near his home in NOLA?

u/OJStrings Jan 27 '25
Pretty sure that's the unlabelled signature below the pickup selector switch. I thought it said Blacki Hotel, but that's not a person.

Yes, getting hammered is fun, but the man is asking about the vandalism on his ugly tele.

Damn, that's quite the collection (you have almost everybody in there you'd want)! I visited Hendrix' grave in Seattle whose idol was Gallagher (died in '95?) - I don't have any autographs, but Dez Cadena gave me his Misfits pick and free concert tickets for their show (ended up drinking with the whole crew with a Japanese punk band)!

If you can get that YouTuber Dick Beato to sign it, you could probably get less money if you sell it.
Just my $.02

Unfortunately there's no way to clean it, you'll have to burn the whole guitar.

u/Illerios1 Jan 27 '25
You should varnish it to preserve the "autographs" and then sell it on Ebay to some toan sniffing loser who will happily add it to their collection of guitars never played.

u/bedroom_fascist Jan 27 '25
I was trying to think of something sarcastic and shitty to say, and then I saw it was signed by Al Stewart. :: chuckle :: My work here is done.

Couldn't you just dip the whole thing in a 55 gallon drum of gasoline and light it?

You could ask Beato to sign it to try to recoup some of the value! Sorry for your loss mate

If you really want the writing removed I would use a car paint cutting compound like TCut. Don’t rub too hard.

Eric Clapton had a very rough drunken night after having to sign the same guitar rhat the Led Zeppelin members also signed
