Hey guys, I have a pre-Gibson lawsuit USA Mark Tremonti I have always had an issue with. I got it new and baby it, rarely play it. The bridge and tailpiece always get dull/oxidized looking. I have polished it before, but it comes back. Dont have this problem with any other of my guitars. Any ideas what is safe to keep it looking good?

Sell it to someone who'll rock it, not baby it.

Ahhh.. Sorry JV!
I thought you meant it just stayed in a case or on a stand never being used.

Do whatever you want to do with it. After all, it's your guitar.
As to your topic, while I don't know that it will prevent the problem, Blue Magic cleans it up nicely.

Nickel is more likely to tarnish than chrome plating (most companies use chrome). But it has a warmer look, and Paul Smith seems to prefer the sound (how he can hear the sound of plating is beyond me, but I trust his ears!).
It's just one of those things that needs polishing up every so often, I guess.

Actually, Eric Johnson is reputed to have specified unplated plugs on the ends of his cables.
Don't ask me why, I'm only the reporter.
