Removing a waterslide decal

What's the best way to remove a waterslide decal that's been applied on top of a nitro finished neck (like they do on the '52 reissue Tele)?

Can it be done without damaging the finish or would it likely need some touch up?

In the first link is a response by Ole Fuzzy. He was quite the comedian around here. His first response is no exception. Would have been nice to meet the guy.

I place a warm damp rag over the decal for a little while, then rub it with a dry towel. Always peeled em right off. I don't like trying to scratch the decal with anything because that will scratch the lacquer. In the link above, someone mentioned denatured alcohol. alcohol will strip lacquer, so avoid that.

Thanks, guys
