yes, sure have. you guessed correctly although my guitar collection has been extended somewhat since then. it'd be good to have a catch up, maybe get a certain photographer along too whom i haven't spoken to for about 6 months.

You have a very nice guitar (a Taylor IIRC) and live in the adjoining town to me.
Am I right?
Its a small world - drop me a line, would be good to catch up.

That said, if the brushes are well worn out then arcing is greater so it could look a bit more burnt. I would look at the insulation between the segments - if this is shot then it will probably be burnt out.
I guess this is something of a black art and not worth the OP spending a few months in a repair shop to learn.

Maybe the original brushes have been worn down to the

That really wrecks the commutators. which will then chew your new handiwork...........chuck out....

Unless the shower is very old or used lots and lots and lots, it is most likely that the motor has burned out causing the brushes to wear out.
If the commutator shows signs of burning I would forget the brushes and buy a new shower.
I speak from experience - you would not believe how many people insist on buying brushes for their lawnmowers, drills etc even when you tell them it is most likely burnt out. You usually see them back later looking for a new motor.
Worth trying to find suitable brushes at a local power tool repair place - at the very least they will have something that can be filed down.
