You have a good eye. If we give the seller the benefit of the doubt (255 feedback and 100% is nothing to sneeze at) one could argue that the color of the back and neck and tuning keys might have been altered by the lighting and/or camera flash.

That said, I just double checked a retail box Alnico II Pro I have on hand and the pole pieces are definitely chrome, not black. This sucks, though - the fakers have gone to such lengths that it's not unexpected they'd start faking the Slash sig within a year of its release.
