That unchromed brass look is nice but it only makes sense if the other hardware has the same look.  :-\

 At least it's not black!



I got a couple of these when he first offered them, nice but CROME plating was spendy.

Which is probably why he's selling them so low. I imagine it was never his intent to do anything but resell everything as is.

 Most plating guys have a minimum charge of about 90.00-110.00, + a charge for the actual pieces, + a 3-4 week wait, you really gotta like chrome  ;)

Hi, here's The Swede! The piece I'm looking for is the cover for the neck pup. The bridge pup covers turns up every now and then, but the front covers are more seldom seen. Unfortunately. There was someone here on the Outpost that had thoughts of making the neck pup covers, but I can't remember who it was... Anyone out there who remembers?
