Hello RT,

I have a build I am hand aging parts for. In a previous thread, I included the bridge parts and such and will post an update when the entire guitar is finished.

Onto this thread!


I ordered a set of American Metal tele pickups made by Planet Tone for this build.

Originally, I had sent a brass cover for the pickup, which I planned on aging for the build.

Well, they reach out and say the new cover I sent is for vintage style pickups and is not large enough for my new set.

I had them go with raw nickel.

I was hoping I could get it close to that brass look.

I believe I did pretty well. Unsure if I even want to age it any more!
