Hey - I'm not talking surface rust here either...
I'm talking about a bridge and tailpiece that are deeply pitted with thick rust. It's a 1968 Gibson SG Special, and I know a certain amount of surface rust might be appealing to some ("relic"?), but this is to the point where my hand can get raw from resting on the bridge too long.
I searched online, but only found info about cleaning rusty surfaces...not repairing this kind of damage. I guess I'm wondering about stripping/grinding it down and then is there some kind of liquid chrome I can apply?
Maybe I should just buy new hardware, but I'm always reluctant to change anything due to it's age. Whadduya think?
