Murph Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 All Stainless. Why not? The ABR-1 has direct contact. Sustain is assured. I've never seen one, do they make em'? Would tone be affected, in a bad way? I have to wonder. I sweat on mine....... Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 You are right it only talks about the thumbweheels being stainless. I do wonder how stain/rust resistant their steel will be. It does say the first batch is "plating" does that mean chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say the first batch is "plating" does that mean chrome? Yep. My real concern is the "softness" of the steel. Stainless would cure both issues, wear, and rust. But, they would only sell each customer "one"........ Per guitar...., eh? Guess that's why nobody has done it. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
