Hey all, since trying to purchase a vintage set of Champion tuning pegs is a bust, I went ahead and purchased a new set. These will be going on an antique no-name uke to replace the el-cheapo Chinese ones I currently put on there. I only used them since I had them on hand, and I didn't have to molest the headstock at all.
Here's the uke in question:
Anyhow, I don't really want to put new ones on this uke as they will look completely out of place. I ordered a new set from Elderly in nickel, and I would like to age them so the look more like the ones on my Harmony:
Now, I know I can simply just move the Harmony ones to the vintage uke, using the black buttons the new one comes with, but the Harmony ones are original to the uke, and I'd like to keep them on there, even though new ones might spruce the old Harmony up.
So, does anyone know of a way I can make the new ones look old? Steel wool will just make them look sanded down, I want to go more for the patina that my Harmony has.
Thanks for the help all,
Dan
