NGD — 2020 USA SS saddle rust

[touch33]

My first post here — please be gentle…

The ‘20 USA Silver Sky I’ve bought appears nearly perfect — except that the PO clearly didn’t believe in wiping down the bridge after playing as the low-E and A saddles are showing some surface rust. Factory says “clean with Blue Magic”, or should I replace for that NGD Experience of making it my own? If replace, Mann-Made or factory? Thoughts?

Don't have an SS myself, but most folks are big fans of Mann-Made, I'd say you can't go wrong with them

+1 for MannMade; tremendously well made, I’ve got on in my CU24-08 and she sings!

Let's see it!
It's used, so I'd probably just clean it up.

I’d just clean them up if it bothered me.

Blue Magic Is Awesome. I Use It All The Time And It Works Wonders.

Agree with the Blue Magic. If you decide to replace, I am all in on Mann-Made, as the others are.

That’s Job One on the agenda — partial disassembly and a comprehensive cleaning, then new NYXL’s and a quality set-up. Gotta make it my own…

As soon as I get the ability to post photos I shall — she’s a beauty!

Well your avatar pic agrees. And if I blow it up I see what you mean on the bridge.
