What did you use for the tuner ageing? And can I see how they look? I have a similar set of new klusons that need un-new-making.
put it the liquid in a container that has a lid, put the tuners in a smaller container inside the bigger one and let the fumes do its work... keep checking ever 30mins, rinse with water to stop the process...
you can can buy the acid from any little hardware shop, it’s sold as “spirit of salts”. You can do without the peroxide, it’s only in there to keep the enchant active tbh.
Tuners look a lot better in the flesh, still shiny but just a bit worn...

ignore the pickguard, it’s just a temp measure!...

used the “inverted air duster” method and it’s worked quite well... (Poundland people!... air dusters for a pound!)...
to get some “dirt” into the cracks I used a cheapo liquid shoe polish (also pound land)... first pass with the polish saw the polish harden into a brown smear across the guitar... a quick squirt with mr sheen liquified the polish and got it right into the cracks! Result!...
once it was all done a quick buff with Tcut got shot of any residue and added a bit more shine, it also took the edge off the dents and dings!...
not 100% perfect but it will settle down and look more natural over time...
and that is really as far as I can take it now... waiting on the correct guard and also the neck...
will update when I have something else to update with but that’s it for now...
9 days in and looking for another project to tide me over till I can get this one finished
Looking great so far! It’s been a quick project!

Mines been knocked down a bit. A few sweaty gigs will take the shine off!!!!
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.
