The Fine Cut Cleaner sounds like a good method too.
I like the Brasso just cuz it's cheap, easy to find, and I've been using it for a long. long time and that one little can seems to have lasted a decade or so!
Plus it polishes up the bobbins so nice.
Probably not to much diferant from the Fine Cut Cleaner though.

Be careful not to get brasso (or other polishes I guess) on the black tape. It dries white and is hard to get out, so I end up black magic markering the tape if I get some on there. Other compounds get whitish but the brasso seems to be the worst offender.

Well yeah if you're smart. :duh: So like I said I've used magic marker a couple times in the past. :doh:
Actually I've never chased brasso from a logo removal. Just a couple times when I used it to buff the whole top of both bobbins. It's because it spreads out on the cloth farther than you think, so you think you were careful enough until about 3 minutes later when the white streak is laughing at you.

Re: How To Safely Remove Duncan Logo
Hey guys, I appreciate the help - or gals - I prefer chicks. I'll try the eraser deal. Seems like a safe way to remove that logo. I'm new to this site, and I again, appreciate the input. Since i'm a green-horn to this site, i'm basically into Frank Marino, ****ey Betts, Michael Schenker, Ulrich Roth, Pat Travers, DiMeola etc. ****ey Betts ? You better believe it. Thanks again for the help. A Chesapeake Bay Retriever is the best damn dog you can have in your duck blind when you're out shooting in weather that would make YOU pack it in. My pup'll stay out there all damn' day, and then some. Hey, everybody else throws **** into their replys or what-ever...................

On the subject of Brasso...
I use it to polish the frets on my guitars, and I'm extremely careful about not touching the fretboard; I'm afraid it could damage the wood.
Am I right into that? Does it damage the wood? I'll clean each fret with surgeon's delicacy just to avoid messing up my beloved maple fretboard. :6:

Brasso is my fret polish for over 15 years. Like Lew, I think I'm still on the same can. I use it pretty dry, meaning I get a little on the cloth, and swipe it dry on the lid of the can. I use a tight weave cloth so I don't get it on the board, but if you do, you can just wipe it off immediately. But getting it all over the board isn't recommended, and it'll leave white in the grains. A friend of mine learned that the hard way after I told him what I do, and he tried it on his own.

I'ver never tried Brasso on my frets. I've always used 0000 steel wool. I'll have to get me one of those bottomless cans of Brasso and give it a try!
BTW: The eraser may leave some rubber smeared on the bobbin, so you might have to use a cleaner wax or something like it to clean it off--maybe that's why so many forumites like the Brasso method?
Either way, I'm sure you'll get the results your after.

Ye olde Toothpaste works great. Just squirt some on a rag and rub for a minute or 2 and the logo is all gone. PLUS your pickup now has a minty-fresh smell!

I can't understand why the logo needs to be there anyway. We bought the pickups, we know they are Duncans. The tone tells the tale! My hand covers the pickup when I play, so nobody else can see the logo anyway.
