Can this be done cleanly? I wanna remove the engraving on my freehand mini caps and leave only the little Duncan logo. I tried searching but couldn’t find anything.

Any help or tips are appreciated. I was thinking acetone but I’m scared to try it

nope, laser engraving is basically removing the anodized layer, so there’s nothing to remove
