Metal parts tarnish and rust are not covered under warranty, only electronics. No seller will give you warranty on this. Its not that Swee Lee do not maintain their guitars well. Rust/ Tarnish on metal parts are normal and they are caused by your own sweat from your fingers/palm. There are ways to make it shiny is to use products like Brasso or Autosol. The best way to maintain is to wipe your guitar after playing.

Nickel tend to oxidise overtime and especially much more evident in the humbucker covers. I guess aesthetically it'll look much more vintage.
