nickle vs. chrome

Re: nickle vs. chrome

They\'re both good tough finishes. Chrome would require slightly less polishing than nickel.

Hi I\'m getting into instrument making (guitars) I was wondering if anyone can tell me which would be a better choice to withstand time and finger prints and moisture on a guitar. I have available to me both nickle and chrome hardware for the same price. Is one tougher in these respects than the other?
Thanks
