Thanks. - Pete   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 24, 2007 - 10:25 am:    Doubt you'll find any nickel covers Peter. Never seen any on a Ibanez unless you pick up a gold pair and the gold has worn off. six   Peterdryan Username: Peterdryan Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Tuesday, July 24, 2007 - 1:37 pm:    Six - I guess I'm showing my ignorance here and asking for the wrong thing. What are the "chrome" covers made from? I just assumed they were a combination of copper/nickel/chromium plating over the base metal: steel, aluminum, whatever. That's the normal 3-stage chroming process.

As far as I know, Ibanez only offered gold and chrome finish on their parts during the Super 70 production era. six
