Worn chrome on pickup

Post by Spike »

I've seen images of other B's with beautifully polished chrome horseshoe pickups. Have these likely been restored, or does mine suffer exceptional corrosion? It doesn't appear to diminish the pickup's performance, so should I just leave it as is?
Cheers,
Luke.

Luke,
Rechroming the magnets will demagnetize them. They will then need to be remagnetized.

Thanks Richard,
I think I'll leave it. Would you?
