I installed my first G-10 pin today. Any suggestions on how to polish or shine it up to look a little more classy?

> I believe the Menzerna rubbing/polishing compounds are available at Stewart-McDonald Guitar Shop Supply. I know the quality guitar makers swear by them. Tommy D.

Almost any auto clear coat polishing compound will shine the pins up. Just spin it in your lathe that apply pressure with with a cloth. Wash rags work good. Paper towels are okay but take longer. Using the lathe in reverse also helps.
