I need someone to remove a g4 neck plug for me. I will buy the pony and have it mailed to you,
Please if anyone would be interested in doing this let me know. I have tried to remove the neck myself and ended up cutting myself so I think that's a hopeless cause. But I really need to make a custom of a pink unicorn
If it matters its the raised hoof Starlight Glimmer
edit: forgot to mention I am willing to pay for this service just let me know how much

Bumping this for you :)
Have you tried softening the glue with hot water and simply pulling the plug out with pliers? I haven't prepped too many G4 so I don't remember exactly how tight the plugs are, it may not work. A flatheaded screwdriver is my preferred tool for head removals (all gens), but you might need a really small one for G4. Good luck!

Those G4 necks are tricky! Very hot water and using a screwdriver is the preferred method. If this doesn't work, use a xacto knife to slowly cut into the grove between the plug and neck, going around in a circle a few millimeters deep at a time. If you do cut it, don't panic! The thin plastic glues easily back together; I prefer using superglue for that.
I could help you out, but once you get the confidence and practice, you'll find it easy to do in the future. Let me know if you try again but decide it's not for you.
I have a tutorial posted in the stickied thread that includes some pictures of an xacto knife cutting into a G4 neck. Maybe that couldhelp?
