    Be careful, but lighter fluid and a soft cloth should work OK.

    Try a small amount of fluid on an area of the guitar that doesn't matter so much (round the back, maybe?) to see if it damages anything.

    If your guitar is finished with nitro-cellulose, be extra specially careful: use less fluid than you'd think, ALWAYS apply it to the cloth only and go slowly!

    Who's scrawl is it, our of interest...?

    Cheers Simon, might give that a go. Dunno what sorta paint ive got, will need to check that out!

    Its Craig Numacher n John Deservio of Black Label Society, Cool autographs but really needed Zakk Wyldes signature to justify scribbling on my beauty, n unfortunatly he didnt have time this time!
