Aftermarket Gold Plating of parts? Anyone? Anyone...?

[cmatthes]

Anybody here had stock Jag/JM parts gold-plated?  Any thoughts on this?

I looked into getting this done YEARS ago, and ended up selling the guitar and parts I was going to use before pulling the trigger.  Basically, looking for ideas, as I'm pretty much giving up on finding a Gold-plated Jag/JM trem unit/bridge/arm!

Thanks, gang!

Oh brother of mine, why do you not call?  I have many answers.

I think this might be my favourite post here ever .. it's like an old gospel lyric or a sentence from a Nick Cave novel or something.

Very lyrical.

Here's another possible answer, though I don't know if they can ship overseas. I don't imagine this stuff is very good for you.

Someone over at the "other" place, posted that First Quality Music will do gold plating. www.fqms.com

There's another place?

I've heard the rumours, but I don't believe them.

we call them "the others"...

gold plating wears off but i'm sure you've been told that already...

if you were to have a small batch done i'd imagine it'd cost a lot more than it's worth.  plus most places probably have a minimum quantity.

i would hang around with hot rodders and ask them because they tend to chrome things
