Hello
I don't like gold hardware because of a personal preference, just don't like the looks on gold in a guitar, but I surely understand that a lot of people actually love it.
My question is, ain't gold hardware supposed to be the easiest to fade and get stained or so? I've always read about gold hardware being the first in getting faded around the edges and sometimes rusted or something like that, more than black and much more than chrome.
So, is this true, and if it is, do the people who choose gold know about the life span of it's looks and even so they still buy it?
This may seem alright and simple to most people, like "sure, when it becomes faded, just swap away the hardware" or "I love the way faded gold hardware looks because it shows wear" or something like that, but I ask this question since for me being very careful with my gear and generally most of my stuff I can't stand objects that get deteriorated fast.
