What is the process/materials required in order to remove the SD logo from a pickup?

Toothpaste or Brasso (metal pokish), toothbrush, elbow grease, 15 minutes time

Also, the little polishing wheel on a Dremel Moto-tool will take it off instantly.

I took the logo off a Custom using Brasso metal polish and a soft cloth. Just rub it away. Works fine.

Brasso's what I use. Cleans and shines up the pickup real nice too! Works fast. Lew

Why would you want to take the logo off? Wear it proud, man!!!!!

Simon, I can't believe you take the logo off. I had such a high opinion of you....damn it man....I'm embarassed.

I was going to put it on another pickup, but it got all messed up on the cloth.

You can use a pencil eraser.

Don't know about that Dremel Tool, though!

Yeah man... this is why I buy a Pickup... so I've got my Pickup saying and everyone knows I've got a sound machine
Nah... but really... when I see a Guitar with a in it I'd expect this player to have at least a little bit of understanding in tone...
whatev...

I love the way the logo' pups look in my one LESTER!
I wear it loud and PROUD!
me must be a LOGO MAN!

Nail polish remover works too, you just have to let it soak into the logo for a minute or two and break out the elbow grease.

It's not that I'm ashamed or anythin' just thought it would look odd with the 59 in the neck which don't have a logo. And also, I wanted it to be reminecent in appearance to a late 50's gibsons with the PAF pickup covers removed,...

Although,.....(heh) I do wish some more Dimarzio models had the logo

all in good, clean, healthy fun folksTHANK YOU GUYS A LOT FOR THE INFO THOUGH

OK...I got the Brasso, but I just can't seem to find this quot;elbow greasequot; anywhere...

This question gets asked every 5-6 months and everytime people do the quot;Why would you remove the pickup logo ... that's stupidquot; responce

Personally I'm not really a fan of the Logo on guitars that are geared towards a Vintage look ... kind of ruins it. So I'm with ya on that one. The only reason the logo is still on the Full Shred (a little worn spot tho) is that it looks too close to a Dimarzio ... and I don't want people thinking I play those

As long as the tone is there 'tis cool. Plus ... how many non guitarists in the audience would notice a difference

I used a white pencil eraser.....took 5 minutes.

I can see removing the logo for the quot;vintage lookquot; purpose....Originally Posted by TheProphet....As long as the tone is there 'tis cool. Plus ... how many non guitarists in the audience would notice a difference

....but this is the bottom line.
