PLATING HARDWARE?

Has anyone had luck or experience having hardware plated (screws, knobs, tuners, bridge etc)?

Guessing there is some spec of electro plating that would be affordable and successful.
I contacted a local plating company about having my stock Cirrus bridge plated, it was not cheap. For a little more I was able to get a brand new Hipshot A-style.

An old customer of mine had an early 70's tele that was his brothers or something, so he wanted to keep the stock parts. He took the parts to a motorcycle shop and had them plated, had the body painted also (cool WW2 bomber motif, sorry no pics) I had to put it all back together for him.

Call around and get prices if you are determined to keep the stock parts. It's a lot of nasty stuff for a DIY, leave the chemicals to the pros.

Or.... Why not just replace it?

well.. it's an early 90s fury --- to the best of my knowledge there is no direct bridge replacement

Is there a bridge replacement for the 90s peavey stuff?

I think a Gotoh 203B-4 will do the trick.
Stew Mac shows a line drawing of it so you can check dimensions.
Not sure if it's a fit but sure looks like what we all have.

I checked it out, it's really close to the original bridge, holes line up, too!

I got a 201 and a millenium BXP bridge on my fury

it’s very similar
Should fit okay
It looks a lot like the bridge that came stock on my Forum Plus. Gotoh makes a nice bridge.
 
I have an issue with my TL-Five I'm hoping you guys might can help with.

The preamp is powerful! But I notice that the mids is especially powerful. If I turn it all the way up, it is EXTREME and unlistenable. I have to really be careful not to turn the mid knob up too far or it just becomes distorted and extreme. I have a hunch that it should not be this way. Any tips?

I have owned several Generation 2 TL5's and none of them had anything strange about the preamp.
