Hey folks,
Alright so I've decided I'm going to be building my own strat using official Fender parts to make my dream guitar.
I've also decided that I absolutely want my guitar to have a body with a real nitro finish for a two reasons...
-I prefer the tonal qualities over poly finishes
-I love the concept of my strat aging and getting worn along with me
Now to my understanding the "Thin-Skinned" nitro finish strats have absolutely no other types of finish on them. Other "nitro finish" strat bodies will have a poly base and then the layers of nitro but the thin-skinned are nothing but nitro. Is this correct?
Also, which Fender strat models have the official "thin skinned" nitro finish on the body? I know the Vintage Hot Rod series does but other then that I'm unsure.
Thank you for any and all help!
Cheers

Edit: I've confirmed that the "thin-skinned" finish is just nitro. I've also found that the Eric Johnson strat has it and possibly the Highway One series. Can anyone confirm whether or not the Highway One series is "thin skinned"?
