Re: Ibanez Gibraltar Custom bridge, replacements or refinish?

it appears that if you heat it to cherry red hot then drop it in used Motor oil

it blackens right up

Gotta' be sure it's steel before you try that, and you're also risking removing the temper from the parts. They'll (depending on spec's) go full-hard and brittle.

I've also been looking for a replacement Gibraltar bridge for my Ibanez MMM-1 baritone forever with no luck.

I wonder if it's built like the Ibanez japanese range of Edge type trems. You may very well be able to polish the parts to a new looking chrome finish with a metal polish like Auto-sol. If it's a cosmo black finish I bet that would work well.
