I Don’t do too many Builds with Gold Hardware these days, due to the extra cost of the stuff, It’s not as if its made of real Gold .
The Ebay Wine Box is predominately Paulownia, the Neck is Camphor Laurel, finished with 3 coats of Dewaxed Blonde Shellac, an Ebay Strat Style 3 Single Coil Pickups, 2 Tone Pots, 1 Volume Pots & 5 Way Switch is fitted to supply the necessary noise through the Amps .

A sales rep from Wilkinson told me that gold hardware requires twice the work? There's a layer of copper over a layer of chrome over another layer of copper over a layer of gold, not to mention the materials that make the gold color? Waverly,Kluson & Grover use real gold on theirs, that's why they're 300 plus? The gold tuners I use on my customers guits start at $20 a set wholesale, so I know what you mean?
