I was out of town for a week, but got back today and my trembucker cover had arrived.
Did some sanding with 320 grit
Made a mixture of vinegar, salt, and hydrogen peroxide that I'd read about on the Les Paul forum, which I wet some toilet paper with and wrapped the pickup for about 30 minutes
It did a little work towards stripping/aging
Got to the copper layer of plating
And finally after a LOT of work with 200 grit sandpaper I got most of the plating off. Cleaned up the scratches with 400 grit, then 1000 grit paper.
And installed in my axe! It's a little brighter/shinier than the neck humbucker cover, but it should oxidize and even out over time.
Woohoo!
