Visual difference between chrome and nickel
What is the visual difference between chrome and nickel?
Which one should I choose for my guitar? Chrome or nickel? Perennial questions.
Choosing over the Internet, from photos, is almost impossible. Every photographer will tell you that capturing the real appearance of shiny metals is very difficult. The photo simply won't depict it accurately.
However, what the photo accurately shows is the DIFFERENCE between the two when similar items are placed next to each other under the same lighting.
And that's exactly what we did. In this short article, we present you with two photos that at least somewhat illustrate the difference between chrome and nickel.
It's subjective, but in our opinion, chrome has a cooler color, is more silvery... Nickel is a bit warmer and perhaps a bit darker... but we could be mistaken. Judge for yourself.
