Doing some guitar cosmetic work

bob_pryor_2000 - 10 Jan 2003 13:45:31

After recently purchasing a new Strat to play surf music with, I
realized how beat up my old Tele looks.
The finish is in good shape but some of the metal parts are looking
bad. The tuning pegs have lost their chrome lustre. The bridge
assembly in particular looks pretty shabby. Its got some kind of rust
on the side where my hand rests. I've tried to remove it using
a small wire brush with no success. I know I can replace the part but
I would rather not because the serial number is on the original.
Does anybody have any advice on how to get an old guitar (about 15
years old) looking better without replacing all the parts?
Thank you all. I enjoy this group quite a bit.
