Lord Summerisle Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Would prefer black speed knobs myself, but it's your guitar...(!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Nah ... this looks great with all of that gold hardware! Nice job, rj ... by the way, how many polishing cloths have you gone through already? MIDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjbee Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Have only had the guitar for a couple of weeks so still the same cloth . I'm trying to keep the gold finish on pickups and hardware from rubbing off by keeping it clean after each use. Any advice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Just to keep doing what you're doing ... that and pray that your body chemistry is not overly acidic. I've heard some folks talk about the gold wearing off in almost no time at all. I've personally had very good luck with Epi "gold" ... and every one of my Epi guitars has the gold hardware. It just worked out that way. Anyway, I was actually referring to the ebony body when I was asking about cleaning cloths. I have the BB King Lucille and that sucker is a fingerprint magnet! Again ... great looking guitar. Have fun putting it through its paces! MIDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made the vernish not sticky and fingerprint is a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
