Hey, not sure if this is the right place to post as its a bit of a strange Q but it is guitar related so would probs get the best response in here.
I've jsut bought one of these to go on my telecaster project i have going but I want to dull it and make it look older so it matches the rest of the guitar.
I've found a few sort of "home remedies" on how to dull all sorts from aluminium, to steel etc but before i try any of them i need to know what the bigsby is actually made out of so i dont mess it up. I have had a read round the box and all i could find is that it was sand cast but i may have missed something on it? (can't check it again cos im at work at the min)
from searchin on the net ive seen a cuople of website suggest the frame is aluminium and the handle is steel
any ideas?
also heres a pic for anyone thats interested
