A couple of thoughts. First, I have a favorite guitar, a late 90's Strat Deluxe Plus. I've owned it since new, and it looks as good as the first day I got it (with the exception of some light scratches from regular use). That's the way I like it, and I would be upset if it had checking or fading going on. The pearl guard has yellowed, but the Crimson burst finish looks great. Score 1 for poly. Next, I don't want anybody to risk cancer to give me a finish on my guitar. I've seen what cancer does to people, it isn't worth it. I don't care one bit about about vintage guitars, I've played many and in general there really isn't anything special about them. I don't believe in all this magic about wood "breathing", the tones people loved on those classic albums came from what at the time were 10 year old guitars. So I don't want my guitars to look like they are falling apart for the vintage look. I love your channel, and you guys are cool, fun people I'd love to hang out with, buy I disagree on both the Nitro and Vintage question. Have a great day!

Using nitro is like sticking to the stone age. Wooden slabs don't "breath" (they do get wet or dry if they're nitro finished). Finish does not affect tone on a solid body instrument unless you have a VERY vivid imagination. Nitro looks better though (at least if you're a boomer like yours truly 😊). Also there's no pure nitro finish in our days; first hand is always poly, it would be idiotic otherwise. So it's a matter of how much you're ready to pay for your next guitar. I guess nitro will be totally eclipsed when all the elderly move on to greener pastures.

Some facts: Urethane or "poly" fades, yellows, and degrades, it just takes longer than lacquer. A urethane or poly guitar finish doesn't stay the same forever. Nitrocellulose (Duco) lacquer and acrylic (Lucite) lacquer are lacquer. Lacquer clear top coats are typically nitro. Color coats, or "Custom Colors" in Fender nomenclature can be nitro (Duco) or acrylic (Lucite) depending on the color. Since the '50's Fender has always used both together or at the same time. As a practical matter acrylic and nitro lacquers are chemically compatible and can be combined/mixed together. In the case of Fender Custom Shop they may very well mix colors of the two to formulate a FCS-specific color e.g. "Super Faded Tahitian Coral"--appears essentially to be very faded Fiesta Red. PLUS, Fender going back to the 1950s has virtually always pretreated wood guitar bodies with a poly-type sealer coat before any lacquer was applied, regardless of whether the lacquer was nitro or acrylic.

I will first just say I had a pretty good year for myself. So I was fortunate enough to get the new John5 Tele, the Brett Mason Tele with the B bender, and the Kingsfish Tele. All of them are urethane or satin urethane. So I assumed that they would look pretty new even after playing them. And I do play them, all of them. I’m not a collector. I just really like Tele’s. 😅 So I was a little surprised when I noticed just how much wear from my picking arm and hand and how much finish checking the Brett Mason Tele got on it just from normal everyday use! It’s not a big deal or anything to me, I actually like how it looks with the wear on it. But it was unexpected, only because I assumed the urethane finish would protect it from finish cracks and stuff like that. 🤷🏻♂️ Ultimately though, they’re all amazing guitars that I love to play. And that’s really what matters most to me.

I walked by that thing sitting there on a stand in front of a new blackface Fender Super Reverb, almost every day and would just stop and stare at it for a while and fantasize about owning it....... but alas I couldn't talk my mom into buying if for me since I had a Silvertone F-hole arch top style acoustic she had bought for me and she didn't understand why I needed another guitar..... ha ha.... That Silvertone had action about a quarter of an inch above the extremely small frets....... Until I played a guitar teacher's '54 Les Paul Standard (with the P-90s that sounded like heaven) I thought maybe I just didn't have enough talent for bar chords...lol......... I don't know if that thing faded but I know I wanted it so bad...... why I didn't get a paper route for something at the time, I'm not sure.... but I still think about that thing... I felt like I had been wronged by my mom for years........... maybe that's why I have about 30 nice electric guitars now.....lol Over-compensation for my old pain I guess.......BTW you guys need to try an Andrews Spectra 22 if you ever find one....... my most awesome sounding amp........... like a modern made Deluxe Reverb with no compromises in the build quality and components.......

First things first: I sure hope that drummer wasn't injured or hurt too bad from that golf cart/side by side that ran him slap over during their gig. That was horrendous!!! Does anyone out there know if that drummer was ok? Or was that some form of slick CGI ??? It sure looked real to me, and if it was real, I don't find it "funny" at all. Now that I've got that out of the way, I DO know for a fact that if 2 identical & VERY well designed & built ACOUSTIC guitars each have the exact same tonewoods from the same slabs of wood, but each have a different finish applied, with one being finished in poly, while the other is finished with nitrocellulose lacquer, and both finishes were applied PROPERLY, the acoustic guitar with the nitro WILL sound better. Why? Because when done PROPERLY, nitrocellulose lacquer can be applied as a thinner coat, and it WILL allow that acoustic guitar to vibrate & resonate more freely. ( Some claim: "the guitar can breathe better".........but that's false........the wood doesn't "breathe better".........it simply vibrates & resonates more freely which is EVERYTHING pertaining to a great acoustic guitar. ) This is why not only boutique acoustic guitar builders, but also the master luthiers who work in the custom shops, building the finest line of guitars for many guitar manufacturers, still insist on using nitrocellulose lacquer on all of their top-of-the-line acoustic guitars. Applying a proper nitro lacquer finish is more difficult, time consuming, and costly..........but you get what you pay for.

Also, unless the finish is checked, nitro does not "breathe". All of the old Fenders were painted with the same Duco lacquer that was used on the cars of the era. If it breathed, all of those cars would have been buckets of rust before they even rolled off of the lot. And I love pizza. A plain old slice of cheese is the ultimate test of a good pie.

Actually, the labels on everything coming out of California should read, “California IS generally harmful and should be avoided “. So poly is less expensive, more durable and will last longer. Nitro is old tech that isn’t durable and allows moisture from the air to be absorbed into the wood of the guitar. This is NOT a good thing. It also allows a particularly dry climate to steal moisture from the guitar which causes the wood to shrink and contract; again NOT a good thing. Maybe we’re just being dumbasses when it comes to nitro (after all, we’re the same goofballs that call a pull-push knob a push-pull knob. We’re just not a real smart portion of society.

To all those people who like poly because they want their guitar to look like that forever, you are going to be disappointed. Poly finish does not age in the same way that a nitro finish ages, but it will get yellow. If it's a transparent finish it will get hazy in spots. If there's any cracks in it where moisture can get into the wood, the finish will get wavy spots where it's not flat anymore. I've seen plenty of old Ibanez guitars that were poly finish that had amazing bright paint jobs that went from white to kind of nicotine stain teeth looking, and from hot pink to sort of a dirty magenta, and glittery guitars seeing thick, ugly flakes come away from the finish. Be aware.

For as good as nitro looks once the guitar earns its patina, it is an environmentally toxic and is not great if you want a truly protective finish and like your guitars looking brand-spanking new. I actually would prefer poly on Gibson guitars (sadly not an option) because there are enough things that have to be babied on them from the headstock to the neck heel glue joint. Prefer nitro on Fenders because the more shots they take, the more grizzled with character they get, and they are already designed to take a beating.

I hate that my Gibsons need to be polished so the neck doesn’t feel sticky. My Mexican strats don’t ever feel that way. Poly is fine if it’s not overly thick I think

@@powbobsI get what you’re saying but you’ve lost me how it’s a counter to my first point….there are artists and amateur’s alike that have a personal preference either for Polly or Nitro and I just gave an example of pro artists that prefer Polly. I personally prefer Polly, however I’ve plenty of nitro and Polly, I buy individual guitar based on their merit.

Nitro is an inferior finish. There’s a reason the automobile industry abandoned it.
