UJ: Your comments and critiques are always appreciated. Including this one. I will try to remember before and after pix. Stay tuned. [Pun fully intended.]

Glad you like the idea.  I was a little worried I might offend you.  Yeah, brown shoe polish maybe, maybe lightly sand and roughen the buttons first.  I have used paint, but will try to remember the shoe polish idea.   Maybe show us before and after pics.

Thanx All!

Unc: any tips for aging cheapo plastic tuner buttons?? Maybe I'll try shoe polish... I like the idea.

Oh!   This one took my breath away.  I love this kind of look.  I like the dark painted neck under the sound hole too.  If I had it for myself, I would somehow age the tuner buttons to match the age of the rest.

Rustic!

It’s got the look T-Gripped! All the elements working together to give it that rustic, vintage vibe. Well done.
