Warwick Fortress refit.

[Asomodai]

hey guys. I have just bought a Warwick Fortress from 96' of the 'bay. Some of the parts have aged. THe gold has rubbed off some of the tailpeice and bridge and the screws are pitted to a small extent. Also it has some of the worst case of bucklerash i have ever seen.

Where can i get Warwick Tailpeices and bridges from that will deliver to the UK which require no modification to fit to my current warwick?

Also I want to try and sand down the warwicks body completely. How thick is the finish on warwicks in general and how hard would it be to take it off by sandpapering it off by hand?

Heres some pics.

Cheers guys.
