[u]Just a couple of redflags I should warn you about:[/u]

High-end guitars can lose a significant portion of their retail value if they are reliced after they are purchased, especially if you are not an authorized dealer or inexperienced with the relicing process.

To retain the guitar’s value, the degree of hardware relicing should match the degree of wear or relicing of the guitar’s body and neck finish. This can be very difficult to get right if you are not a pro.

[u]this is most important:[/u]

Note: Relicing guitar hardware is a potentially dangerous procedure. It could result in bodily harm, such as skin or lung damage. You could also damage the metal parts you are relicing or other parts of your guitar in the process. Do not attempt to do this if you don’t have the proper equipment or are not sure you can do it safely, especially if you are inexperienced in relicing.
