I just looked over there and found it. Bizarre that they shipped it with chrome bridge but black tuners.

My soul is of cavernous black. I think chrome looks inherently cheap. I have nothing against metal, but then I want it to look like nickel or brushed matté stuff.

I have to say that I do prefer nickel to chrome, but you get what's available when you're attracted to shiny objects!

 IIRC Chrome is actually the most expensive of those three to produce.............I don't mind a good polished nickel but too often it tarnishes, I could likley deal with Gibson's use of black on hardware *if* they offered it as a choice ( the plastic pup covers just look cheap to me tho), I daresay they'd increase sales with this option.

2nd on the nickel - the patina it develops over time is great. Chrome is more expensive and rusts/pits over time.

Traditional chrome is a 3 step electroplating process: copper first over a properly polished metal surface, then nickel and finally chromium.  It is highly durable and rust resistant.  Some modern cheaper chrome has done away with the copper and/or nickel under the chromium.  That can produce a cheap chrome that looks very blue and doesn't have the high rust resistance of "triple chrome."

Nickel plating is done the same way except no chrome layer.  Nickel tarnishes but can be polished back to original appearance if maintained.

The element chromium resists rust.  It's the component in stainless steel that makes it "stainless".
