As many of you guys know, Bud’s Polishing in Pegram, TN is now closed due to a terrible fire. Bud’s did many builders and guy’s like me polishing and he was very good and experienced working on steel guitar parts etc.
Like many others, I find myself at a standstill looking for another shop/person to do this type of work for my restorations, which are few in numbers.
I am reaching out to this community for names or places to begin working with for these jobs. This has been tough to find so far and many people I have called or emailed did not know of a place or just never responded to emails.
Thank you for any help you may have to offer.
Cheers

Try these guys. They have done some work for me in the past. Mostly plating, but they can restore anything so I am guessing they have a polishing shop, and they are in Nashville.

Thanks, I spoke with those guys a few weeks ago and they do not do polishing. I have to be careful too that a shop knows what they are dealing with in regards to steel guitar parts. Things can become damaged pretty easy if they get too aggressive...

Mike,
That's good!
I rebuilt a ZB and polished all the parts with mine.

I am retired, but still have my shop and polisher. I polished aluminum for 50 years. It is a two step process, cutting and polishing. Two different wheels (not the hard stitched wheels) and different polishing compounds.
I am not in the polishing business, but if you can't find any place to do it, I will help you out as long as you don't have any deep scratches you want polished out. |
