I IronBalls New member Jan 25, 2009 #1 I recently got an epi les paul custom, and i realised that the parts that were gold-plated like the bridge and pick-ups had some pretty obvious tarnishes. Anyone got recommendations on how to remove them without damaging the hardware?

RyanZ New member Jan 25, 2009 #2 There is no way to regain the gold plating. Once tarnished, the only way is to replace the hardware.
