    warm water and something to start scrubbing it with! kitchen paper, and the likes nothing harsh enough to ruin the finish,

    but peel off what u can and use the warm water, worked for me sometimes the adhesive is more stuborn i kinda used my nail to scrap off that

    Lemon oil after you carefully peel off the paper.

    WD-40 can help with getting sticky crap off. You can also get special stuff in Maplins if its really bad - contact cleaner.
    I wouldn't let ANY liquid get anywhere near screw holes or similar parts of your guitar where there's no finish.

    one method for removing sticker is to heat the sticker with a naked flame before removing it. i've done this on some things but not a guitar. in fact probably should avoid this method. actually, just ignore me, i'm only looking for attention anyway.

    Use a hair dryer and it should peel off easily. Don't use abrasives of naked flames.

    I was thinking of using a hair drier but was afraid it would lift the paint of.

    Its really stubborn as its one sticker on top of another and its really strong adhesive on it.
