I bought this guitar about a month ago from a third party dealer on Amazon. It plays amazingly, but I'm having a HUGE problem with the metal hardware tarnishing, particularly the bridge and the tuning pegs. My second guitar was an LTD Viper that cost $200, and it took years for the tarnishing to get to the point that my $1000 guitar is at after a month. Is there some sort of protectant that I can coat the metal parts with so that it doesn't tarnish so quickly? It was practically rusting after only a month of ownership; I just noticed and gave it a thorough wipe down, but I'm going to have anxiety every time I play it if I can't find some way to mitigate how quickly the gold coating tarnishes. Even if that can't be officially condoned, just knowing the primary metal in the alloy that the coating is made from would help me immensely. Thank you in advance.
Gold hardware is notorious for oxidizing faster than most other hardware finishes. The reason hardware tarnishes is due to the sweat and oils your body naturally produces accumulating within the hardware while playing. Should be common practice nowadays with everything going on in the world but best way to avoid this kind of issue is to wash your hands before playing and to wipe down any sweat or residues left behind after you are done playing.
No offense, but that isn't a solution, and it's the first thing anyone would try if, for some reason, they didn't treat their gear with that level of basic respect. You don't buy a midrange guitar without understanding basic etiquette. Even with washing my hands, the results speak for themselves. Can I at least know what the coating is made of? If it's brass, I'll coat it with protectant myself, but I can't do anything without knowing the primary metal in the alloy.
