Yeah, not money nickels. Nickel, the plating.
I have always preferred nickel plating to chrome plating, even though it tarnishes unless it’s polished. I like the warmer hue of it, and the fact that it doesn’t peel like chrome.
So I like that PRS uses nickel plating.
We just did some light fixup and paint to our place, during the course of which, some hardware needed to be replaced. At the store that had the nice stuff, it seemed like the hippest trend was nickel plated hardware, and “aged” nickel plated hardware.
It was all I could do to not say, “Great, let’s match my guitars!”
