Is it a sticker or a decal?

A sticker will come off with a damp cloth and something blunt to scrape it off

A decal will most likely need to be scraped off with a razor blade or something equally sharp and lots of careful patience so you don't damage the headstock

I use an ice scraper to get stickers off (plastic, so not abrasive) and then some rubbing alcohol to get rid of the glue scum.

Try a hairdryer to soften the glue, will lift most stickers/decals.
