Where can I get Aged white (read: CREAM) colored pickup covers and knobs? If you look at a real vintage 60's strat, you see that the pickguard turns to a mint color while the covers, knobs, switch tip, and trem arm tip go cream. Anybody know where I can pick some up?

Re: Aged covers?
it easy to age those plastic parts, just blow some cigarette smoke on it. it will take just one pack of cigs i think
let a smoker friend do it for you if you dont smoke. dont start smoking just for your guitar

Re: Aged covers?
I've tried the aged white Fender stuff, and it's mint green, I want a cream color. I've got the covers, now I need the knobs. they dont age as well as covers.This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections. - St. Augustine of HippoComment

Re: Aged covers?

Re: Aged covers?
how would one pack of cigs age it? doesnt seem right to me..... i would think it would take many gigs in smoke filled rooms and sh!t to make it age like thathttp://www.myspace.com/wildcatdotdotdot

Re: Aged covers?
put them in a small box, close the box off entirely except for a little hole, and have someone blow smoke into the little hole
i'd say one pack over the course of about 3 days or so would do it, haha repeat if necessaryOriginally posted by gibson175Comment
