You could put the stock buttons back on and use Grolsch washers or the similar washers sold by Fender.

And I still say it's damage. I don't care who suggests it. A little polish removes the drag. Anyway, people can do what they want with their own guitars.

I disagree. Sure, you can buff it back to a gloss again. For that matter, you could repaint it. Nevertheless, you're removing the original finish. To me, that's damage.

Anyway, like I said, why do that when a little polish will do the job. It takes all of 15 seconds.

Why damage the finish on the neck of your guitar? I use a little Gibson pump polish and problem solved. I reapply it every week or two depending on how much I play the guitar. Any guitar polish will work.
