Seymour duncan pickup users, do you remove the logo?

[blackba]

I have seen some discussion about people removing the 'Seymour Duncan' from the top of their pickups. I am curious what people are using to remove the logo, how many have done it, and if it hurts resale if you decide to swap it?

 

[itsme]

I doubt anyone would remove the EMG or Dimarzio logo's either.

 

[Vrad]

I use micro mesh.

Do you need to polish it afterwards? What grit?

 

[AmpliFIRE]

The logo annoys me, but I've never removed one.

 

[neilrocks25]

No and dont really care, who is going to notice at a gig

 

[Digital Jams]

Never really noticed it, I have more important issues while playing

 

[vultures]

I guess I'd do it if I was infinitely happy with the pickup and was never going to change it out. But never thought about it, kills resale value

Yeah... like whether or not the guitar you're playing is relic'd.. or if there's a Gibson/Fender logo on the headstock. Bet you'd take a belt sander or hacksaw to that headstock in jiffy if that were the case! LOL!

 

[guitarslinger]

I don't see the point.

Yes, it would kill resale value.

If both pickups came as a pair, no.

If the guitar is vintage-themed, like my Les Paul Sunburst, then yes. remove.

If the neck pickup doesn't have a logo, and the bridge pickup does, then yes. remove.

 

[nbarts]

I have a better option, remove the pickup

 

[RockStarNick]

As far as resale value, over on the Duncan Forum, no-one really cares THAT much about de-logo'd buckers... just so you know. I you ever have one that you took the logo off and it's not selling elsewhere, it'll go on the duncan furum.

+1
Only reason it bugs me much is because I only use 1 Duncan in my guitars. I still don't know whether I'll bother with it though.

 

[rupe]

I typically don't remove it, but I have done it to a few of them. Brasso or a fine polishing compound work well.

 

[ranalli]

I nearly always leave the logos on because I like the way it looks but I did take one off recently with toothpaste and a Shamwow.

Don't ask me why I had a Shamwow.

 

[racer_j]

Logos don't really bother me.

J.

 

[Hard&Heavy]

I kind of like the way it looks.It does not bother me being there...

 

[Shawn Lutz]

the tone is 10x better with the logo on

Seriously, I never removed one but if it makes ya happy, have at it.

 

[killertone]

Nope. Never done it and never really thought about it.

Were you wearing a Snuggy when you did this?
