Default Removing adhesive from insde the guitar.

At one time there was a pickup system in my Goodall that required a battery bag. It was mounted behind the soundhole to the back. It had some kind of black adhesive or two way tape that I couldn't remove with my fingers. If you know a good way to remove it without staining the wood I would be grateful.

I'd try Naphtha. It won't hurt the wood or the finish if you get it on it, and it will, most likely, soften the glue on the tape. Start with a few drops, maybe with an eye-dropper or a pipette if you have any. Put it along the edge of the tape then start working the tape up, adding a small amount of Naphtha as you go. When done, dampen a paper towel with the Naphtha and wipe the area. Naphtha dries quite fast. Be careful, it's also called lighter fluid for a reason.
