Gold Hardware on guitar. pros and cons?
I'm about to order a custom guitar - Suhr (they're really well made guitars :)). Since I have no experience in owning a guitar with gold hardware, what are pros and cons of it? maintenance and such for any of you that have experience with it.
I will never buy another guitar with gold hardware. The gold tends to fade and even rub off in many cases. I've seen a $3500 Custom Shop Les Paul Supreme that was 3 months old and the gold was already coming off of the bridge. Looks great until it starts
