Nickel Plating for Guitar Parts: Helpful RFQ Request

Summary for nickel plating for guitar parts Discussion

Nickel plating for guitar parts is the focus of this RFQ: Steve Cox in Chino, California asked where he could send plastic pickup covers and aluminum pickup rings for nickel coating during a vintage guitar restoration. He said the job is simple, but he needs a shop that can handle the parts and is willing to work with reasonable minimums because he expects more work if he finds a suitable plater. The editor noted that the request was outdated, but invited technical replies and other RFQs, while also saying no public commercial suggestions should be posted. No actual plating recommendations or technical answers appear in the excerpt, so the thread mainly documents the request and the need for a suitable nickel plating source.

RFQ. What I need is pretty basic, but I need to have some pickup covers (plastic) and pickup rings (aluminum) nickel-coated for a vintage guitar restoration.

Does anyone know where I can send my stuff to get it done?

Any help at all?

If I find a place, I’ll have much more work after this. I can even deal with minimums as long as they’re within reason.

Any help?
