You could get a marker and sign similar surface, and try to laquer it or cover it with some clear coat spray. That way you'll know without ruining the guitar.

Cool guitar by the way... not many play Big Apples, does it have a coil tap/split?

Doc,
This was a $99 Squire hardtail that GC gave me for $75 brand new, so ... no, it has no cool features that I know of. It has a 3 position switch though, so maybe there is some wiring inside that taps the single coils. I really have no intention of playing it .. it's just an ornament of my deepest affection!

That's awesome Dave. I have seen TOP live on a couple of occasions and they are an awesome band.

And yes, I'd be wary of trying put any sort of chemical over the guitar and risk destroying the signatures. Plus some of them are on the plastic pick guard as well. I would just keep it behind glass.

And that was a good guitar to pick for the job. Even though I know it isn't for playing those cheap Squiers are very playable guitars. I could play a gig with one like that without a problem.

Poly will work fine sprayed over the magic marker. The Square already has a poly coat. DO NOT USE LAQUER-it will bunch and go bad.

I'd get an airbrush and do it gently if it were here. Take it to a refinisher to spray the poly. It will be fine. you only lightly spray the sigs.

Bootsey lives in Covington, Ky, and I see him around here occasionally and at Summer NAMM. He demos for Ampeg.

I'll spray the guitar free. Of course theres the 20 plus hours of driving...(LOL).

Be well,


R.
