• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Are Les Pauls now made with Nickel hardware instead of chrome? I can't find out anywhere. On Gibson.com it's listed as "Nickel" Colour but does that also mean it's made of Nickel?

Nickel hardware is not [normally] made of nickel. It is nickel plated.
