Once upon a time, someone thought it would be uber kewl to stick a jagged mirror fragment in between the neck and bridge humbucker on this '80s MIJ Aria Pro II ZZ Deluxe Zebra Solidbody. Well, the current owner begs to differ, and he's asked me to remove it. Easier said than done, though. Took me nearly two days from start to finish.
Day 1 - I started off by spraying a generous amount of sticker remover around the mirror and letting it sit for a while. Then I tried to pry the mirror loose by sticking a thin guitar pick underneath. After trashing a few completely good picks, I finally realized that this was never going to work.
Day 2 - Time to get tough. The images below detail the painstaking process, which included more sticker remover, a rubber mallet, a flathead screwdriver, and a small plastic scraper. I'm afraid I forgot to snap a pic of the offending mirror before starting work, a thousand apologies.
