Any way to remove the "Seymour Duncan" logo from a Tele pickup?

[fakeplastic]

Hi all, I have a SD Jerry Donahue pickup with the "Seymour Duncan" written on the pickup. I'm wondering if there's any way to remove this safely from the pickup?

Nail varnish remover, called Naptha I believe over your way.

Buy something unbranded. Or just change the cover.

You can't change the cover on a Tele bridge pickup

Try a Sharpie

Generally speaking; Seymour Duncan is a prestigious and well thought
of brand. Why would you want to hide the fact that you've upgraded
your pickups?

Dampen a paper towel (damp...not dripping) with acetone and scrub off the ink stamp.

To maintain the classic look of a tele bridge pickup without logos/writing.

I'm pretty sure the lettering on my one SD pickup disappeared when I wiped it with naptha accidentally.

I like SD pups, don't care for the logo.

I can't see what's written on my pickups when I'm playing. I can't look at my guitar very long without wanting to play it.

i managed to sand it off with 400 grit, but as others suggested chemical methods i'd try those first. glad im not the only one who doesn't dig the logo look, but dig the sound of SD pickups

It looks tacky.

I have this same pickup in the bridge of my partsquire.
Pretty sure whoever owner it before me took some high grit sandpaper to the top bobbin. Logo is gone, it's noticeable up close but not terrible.

I'm going to imagine that he likes the way the pickup sounds and that he's talking about the Tele bridge pickup, which doesn't have a cover.

I believe you mean acetone.
