Are there differences with the Japanese ds-1s?

I traded jet king 2 for a Sovtem mig50 and 2 Marshall 4x10s. Also traded a Traynor ycv40 for a ycv80 straight. Lots of win.

Bought a Thurston Moore Jazzmaster recently from the used section of Guitar Centre for $850. Thought that was a great deal. Only thing is, the dude who had it before me put a bunch of stickers on it which have left markings on the finish (only seen from a certain angle, but still), otherwise it's flawless. Thought I could get the sticker markings off, but no such luck. Still feels like a deal though. Kinda.

Any tips on removing the markings are welcome :thumb: (tried Ronsonol, didn't work).

Adhesive residue? Is WD-40 safe for guitar finishes, 'cause it's good at that gunk.

My last MTD only cost me $2600 as opposed to the $3200 the seller originally wanted.

Good score, right? :dance:
