pitting

J. Wilson · From: Manitoba, Canada

I have a '41 B6 that is immaculate; yet I see so many that are pitted badly. What causes this? How can I avoid this happening to my pup later in its life when my kids inherit my instrument?

Is that not caused by the acid in the players' skin or bodily oils?

Having the magnets re-chromed is the only way I know of, but they have to be smoothed first, and de-magnetized before chroming, and of course re-magnetized after chrome plating. I haven't seen any with pits, just some with the chrome peeled partially off.
