Start by stocking up on rubber gloves, Q-tips, and lighter fluid.


Swab lighter fluid along the edge of the pickguard to soften the glue.





Find the sharpest corner of the pickguard and start lifting it with the point of a utility knife.
Keep swabbing in lighter fluid while you lift.
Once the edge is released enough, you can use tweezers and your fingers to pull the pickguard back.
Keep swabbing in lighter fluid while you lift.





With the guard removed, all that’s left is cleanup with lighter fluid and a paper towel.
