Hi everyone. First post on the Gibson Forums. Thank you for having me!
This morning while changing my strings I realised my Tune-O-Matic bridge has started looking a little tired. Seems as though my sweat from my palm has corroded some of the metal plating off and has even begun showing signs of corrosion in the screw hole(?) to the left as seen in the picture below.
Is this a common problem? I'm a bit surprised this is happening to be honest considering how much it cost. Yes the guitar is a workhorse and has gotten me through many gigs and shows and I do take care of it. Will I need to replace the bridge sometime soon or should I just wait for it to eventually corrode and crack?
Thank you for any ideas or comments!
