You can get the black part of the Sharpie ink off. But the purple penetrates the acrylic. Replace the if you're tired of the look and keep the signed one in a padded mailing envelope.

Paul, can you tell me more about Sharpie ink?

Someone used a black permanent marker on my favorite whiteboard. I wrote over the markings with another marker pen and then erased. Only the black came off (as you say) leaving a purple base that resists removal even after many swipes although it does appear to be dimming slowly. But still, the purple is visible after many months.

What chemical could be used to remove the purple? Or if, as you say, it penetrates the acrylic, does that mean another chemical can't pull it out?

It's like a tatoo. You can have tatoos removed, but there's always something left behind from it. If you're gonna mark it, make sure you want it there.

I have a Pete Townshend model. I forget what number it is in the run, though.

I have a 360/12 CW that is 305/500. I love it to death. I would say the rarest LE guitar would be a KAY, and I rarely see them come up. Their owners really love 'em and don't want to part with them, and I cannot blame them because the guitars look and play great!

My 360/12 CW Fireglo is 472/500 - I put on a plain upper pick guard and silver topped knobs and made it into a Harrison :-)
