Brushed Hardware

[slaws]

Hey everyone, I'm in the planning stages of a new project and I really like the look of the brushed or aged nickel hardware found on some newer model guitars.

Examples:

Ibanez

Schecter

Anyone know any vendor's selling hardware with different finishes other than your standard black/chrome/gold?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not so sure about the aged look, but Sperzel offers many different colors for their tuners. Not much of a start, but it's something other than chrome/nickel/black/gold!

oooo I like those. I'm digging the satin chrome, the multi color option is cool too. Thanks for the reply.

It looks like the word I was looking for is "Satin" I found few pieces on EBay, knobs, tuners, etc.

You may want to contact Hipshot about chrome satin for guitar tuners. I know they offer the finish for their ultralite tuners.

I have quite a few guitars with Sperzel satin black chrome, satin chrome, and satin gold tuners. They look and feel really great.
