It's nothing personal Edwin. I don't like any signature on te headstock. The logo and was not to tight; I could lift it a little with my fingernail. Then wiggle carefully with a very small knife, resting on a piece of metal so I couln't damage the wood. The script came off a little less easy, but thas wasn't a problem too.

Final result after sanding carefully and finishing with hardwax oil, several layers to get the right satin finish.

O, and many thanks to Mica, David, Russ en Flip uit Friesland. Without your advice I wouldn't have dared to do this.
