Tarnished bridge post on brand new SE Hollowbody II Piezo

[RickF]

Hello All!

I have a brand new PRS SE Hollowbody II Piezo. This is an OUTSTANDING instrument. With that said, my upper nickel bridge screw (where my hand rests) is already starting to tarnish. This seems quite quick for this to happen. I have owned the instrument a little less than a month and performed 5 gigs with it. I have had other PRS guitars and have not had this issue.

Is anyone else seeing this? Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks,
Rick

I have that issue. Every couple of string changes I use cymbal polish to clean up the metal pieces that are starting tarnish.

That would be hard to deal with. I've had mine for a year (vig over!) and not had that issue. Recently I changed out the Chrome (Nickel plated?) bridge posts out for the raw brass ones.

The brass ones may tarnish more...IDK. Everyone's sweat is different.

That HB II Piezo is a dream to play...

Hope you find a solution.

Congrats of your guitar.
