How to Age Pickup Pole Pieces for Telecasters

Have you ever been working on your Telecaster and wanted you pickup pole pieces to look really old and aged? Well the process for this is quite simple.

All you need is an aluminum oxidizer and a Q-tip.

What yo need to do is take your Q=tip and dip it in the oxidizer

Then rub the oxidizer on the pole pieces.

Now what this will do is make the pole pieces black, which happens a lot on telecaster bridge pickups. You should be done after rubbing them on all 6 pole pieces. Hope this helped you, Good Luck.
