Kinsman Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 So I've got a 2016 Custom Lite in Black. I love it. Adore it. I've thought about getting locking tuners and one thing led to another and I'm wondering if it's possible to get satin gold parts to replace the gold plated stuff. It'd be an undertaking, replacing the pup covers and all, but I think it would look even sexier. Thoughts? Recommendations? Am I crazy? Thanks all!

Black Dog Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Everyone has their own thoughts on artificially aged stuff. I can see both sides of it. Some of the heavy stuff like the Tom Murphy CS stuff looks way too much for me. I do like the slightly dulled look though. However, I think it may look odd to have aged/dulled metal hardware on a new looking top/body. Coincidentally, I just put a aged bridge and tail piece on one of my LPs from Faber which are really nice, but it's on a tribute guitar that has a satin top so it matches the theme.

MichaelT Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 After these old eyes saw "Gold Satin parts" instead of "Gold Satin pants" I quit laughing and did a search. Stew-Mac has some stuff and apparently there's also stuff on eBay: Ebay Stuff Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm sure there are parts available but my experience with gold hardware is that it will get dull enough on it's own from just playing it. The plating isn't very thick and depending on the acidity of your skin it will wear off soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'm not really sure if I'll go ahead with it, just wanted to see what your thoughts were. Definitely appreciated ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
