I just got a couple of Les Paul ukes and they came with cheap looking white pick guards. I really didn't like them. Emailed Epiphone and the tech recommended using Naphtha to remove them (although he said it would void the warranty). I soaked the edge with Naphtha (got it at local paint store) then used a plastic prying tool (the kind used to repair cell phones) to work the edge loose. I then soaked some more Naphtha under the guard and worked it loose. I didn't damage the finish at all. I think it looks much better and it probably helps the tone and volume also. Hope this helps anybody that was considering doing this.
