Members oYx Posted January 14, 2006 Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 i tried to remove something similar on the volume knob, and the grey finish was removed along with it and it's now chrome. how can i remove the stain or discolouration from the bridge without it turning chrome?

Members oYx Posted January 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 it's aging although i've only played it a few times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GPLAYER Posted January 14, 2006 Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 Acids and oils in your hand can attack metal finishes rather quickly. Along with rubbing in the same spot, it doesn't take long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members usa83strat Posted January 14, 2006 Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 it must be the finish reacting with you sweat , some peoples sewat is more acidic that other (i have this problem too) what did you use to thry and clean the knob. i guess if you use an old tooth bursh with some warm water it may help and it should not damage the finish of the bridge , use a light touch . iu still think you should just leave it alone. let the mojo start building up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funkytone Posted January 14, 2006 Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 You could probably get a high-paying job in Fender's custom shop sweating/relicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oYx Posted January 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 it doesn't happen with my other guitars though. i really left this ibanez in its case for months, simply cos i had no time to play it.i'll try the light brush, and i'll report. hopefully with a 'restored' pic.

Members GPLAYER Posted January 14, 2006 Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 I could have guessed it was an Ibanez...don't get me wrong..I love my Ibanez guitars..but the finish on their hardware, "relics" pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oYx Posted January 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 14, 2006 hmm. you got a point about the hasty process for ibanez hardware. i'll probably leave it alone. can't imagine having to fight it time and time again. edit: on another thought, i wonder why isn't ibanez doing something to make its finish more durable? or is it really too much trouble and cost?
