I have a Kentucky KM-855 in excellent shape except that the gold plating is wearing through on the tailpiece. What's the best fix for this replace / replate? And where can I find the parts or have the replating done? Thanks

Contact Saga. Or check with a Saga dealer. You should only need the tailpiece cover. Right?
Maybe it is time to consider a cast tailpiece like and Allen.
Otherwise I'd let it go. It shows that you play, gives you street cred, and probably exudes mucho mojo.

Thanks for the chuckle - "probably exudes mucho mojo"!

And yes I just need the cover although now I'm rethinking the idea of losing my street creed!
Thanks for the reply

IF YOU WATCH THE ANTIQUE SHOWS ON TV- ORIGINAL IS BETTER-NO MATTER HOW WORN- PRICE WISE TOO. SO KEEP THE ONE YOU HAVE NOW AND ENJOY
