Lacquer? - BAD IDEA, but when I had my Yammy re-done, the tech pulled silver into the leaderpipe for protection. It is such a thin coating that I barely noticed and, no, he wasn't yanking my chain for more $ 'cause he didn't get any more. He said that for him it was a fairly common practice since silver will not flake and surcomb to the elements like lacquer, and it is also more resistant to the pH in saliva than brass. I've noticed that it is alot easier to keep the leaderpipe cleaned out now. Still looks new inside. Just my 2 cents.
