For me, a more neutral label color wouldn't have been noticed and I likely would have kept it there, I think. But at that time, the label placement was more visible through the sound hole when looking straight on than it appears to be today. I think today the label is placed a little deeper in the body now--more towards the center. Or maybe my guitar was an exception. Don't know.

If I recall correctly, it came off nice and clean being affixed with something like a rubber cement. I held on to it in case I ever thought to sell the X7, figuring I would then put it back on.

Now, years later, I can say the thought of selling didn't cross my mind again.
Yes AC, I am keeping my sticker too & will never sell this guitar...some things are just priceless Amigo!!!

By the way...the account of washing her with a garden hose is true...lol...I have Really Done This...
