Are the scratches from picking?

What kind of polish did you use? You would have to use an abrasive rubbing compound to get the scratches out: a scratch and swirl remover.

Then lower the pickups and be more precise with your picking.

What did you expect, that a chrome surface would never get scratched? Sorry I do not mean to be pessimistic about this, but a scratch does not affect tone. Just wait 10 years from now, they definitely will not look brand new, at least if you are playing this guitar.

I look at every ding and scratch on my guitars as unique characteristics for the instruments I play, you know...MOJO. :D
