The previous owner committed blasphemy and applied one of those self-adhering clear plastic pickguards to my Dawg mandola top. #Is it removable; possibly with the correct solvent??

I just removed one off mine, I peeled it off slowly and cleaned it off with napha.

Do you think the pickguard is a liability should I attempt to sell the instrument?

Heat! Low heat from a hair dryer, back and forth, and not real close... but yeah, get it pretty warm, and start at a point, using a lil wooden shim, or something, to keep it from sticking back, as you work across..

Cover the other areas with cardboard.
