Don't use heat
I like Eastman guitars but I don't like their pick guards. I have replaced 4 of them. The first two with a hair dryer. I read an AGF post by Wade strongly cautioning against heat on the surface of the guitar. It may work but it also may cause problems down the road that at first aren't apparent. I read the same caution by a poster named Bert over on the EGF forum. The last two guitars I simply used naptha, a couple q-tips, a couple of thin picks and a lot of patience. Worked like a charm. The finish on the Eastmans is nitro so the naptha also helped in cleaning up any residue without harming the finish. Just speaking from my experience.
