So I was looking around recently and again came across pictures of RR0025...this time I noticed something...the bridge is shiny brass, but it's the same model as used on all the other RRs of that era, e.g. a Gotoh inspired bridge but has the slot head studs unlike the thumb turn studs on Randy's black guitar.
What I'm wondering is if anybody knows how it got that way? I suspect, though don't know, that the black bridges of that era are actually brass painted black, I can say that the one on my guitar is way too heavy to be aluminum anodized black, that's for certain. In a nutshell, what I suspect is that it's possible at some point an owner of that guitar stripped the black off to get to the brass underneath, and of course it's possible it was ordered as such from Jackson.
