I should know, I've owned more than one instrument that old, with perfectly fine, thick plating. I don't personally care flying donut one what Swiftech's loss or gain is on this one, but I have a LOT of experience with plated metals (have worked as a brass instrument repairman) and if it's THAT level of plating, my Dremel and a diamond tip would spend 20+ minutes getting enough aluminum to damage anything.

That said, I wish I had one, it's pretty awesome looking, with the performance to boot...

well if your right then it would be fine..but I doubt(and Gabe correct me if I am wrong) that the plating is anywhere near the quality on a musically instrument(100s-1000s of dollars vs $75/80 cpu block)
