I have put an anti-corrosion coating on the metals of this Steel to stop further progression of it's minor surface corrosion. The coating is a light oil that evaporates quickly leaving a thin heavy oil film that will not creep under nor into wood nor parts, ....which I wipe off before shipping. This Steel will clean up quite nicely and I will be delighted to do so at no charge if (keeping with vintage guitar industry standard) a Buyer requests I do so. |
