Hah! Not a chance! That stuff is really on there to stay, even though on my Squiers it looks almost non-existent. Without some heavy sanding you better figure on whatever finish you apply sitting on top of what's already there.
I recently asked in a thread if this was wearing OK since a lot of folks have done it. Not much response, so I'm assuming it's working out OK and I'm proceeding to do one that way myself.

Heh, interesting. Mine came off with light sanding. Now all the strings are gone, trying to remove tuners. Took neck off body. Practiced staining cheap scrap wood. This foam brush is horrible, so blotchy!
