My Own Aged Pickup


On my Mexican Telecaster, the bridge pickup has a little rust around the edges of the pole pieces that I thought I'd like to show. The reason why there is rust and oxidation around the pole pieces is because that is where my hand usually is, over the bridge pickup. After a few years of skin cells sweat and grime collecting the pieces started to rust. so I'm going to show how my pickup looks and show what natural or what the beginning of the natural aging process looks like.
 Now it's kind of hard to see it, but you can see a little oxidation on the pole pieces and around the pole pieces. Which as I mentioned earlier was caused by sweat skin cells dirt and grime.
Thank you for your time,
Happy Easter and take care everybody!

People Who Have Signature Aged Guitars

Many people have signature guitar models, but not too many of them have signature aged models. People like Slash, Jeff Beck, Robby Kreiger, Dickey Betts, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Kurt Cobain and many more! Now you may have seen these models in your local guitar shop, online, and music store catalogs.Jeff Beck has come out with a few models from both fender and Gibson as shown here.
Jeff Beck Fender Esquire
1954 Gibson Jeff Beck Les Paul Custom
Slash has many Les Paul's from Gibson and are aged for an extra grand. What's the kicker about them is that they're usually aged by Tom Murphy and you already know about how much I like Tom Murphy from other posts.
Gibson Murphy Aged Slash Les Paul's
The more Recent Slash LP model was the Appetite For Destruction LP, which is also my favorite Slash signature model.
Gibson AFD Slash Les Paul
Robby Kreiger of The Doors only came out with 1 model of SG from Gibson and is probably one of the best SG's true to its vintage character as well as it's aged look.

Jimmy Page has had about 4 signature aged guitars come out, 3 Les Paul's, and the EDS 1275

Kurt Cobain has had signature aged models just recently come out. Fender came out with the Kurt Cobain Signature Jaguar and custom Mustang. What i wanna focus on is the Jaguar. It came out about 4 months ago or so so its a very new product. I've heard how it sounds and it sounds divine.
