FYI I was trading some emails with Ted at LA Guitars because I am looking at a new model. I asked about the new finishes and this is what he replied:
Truetone has been around for a while, it was developed by Otto D'Ambrosio for his custom Eastmans a few years ago and he put a lot of time in it to get it right. We've had guitars in here with the new finish and found zero tonal or esthetic difference and we like that come winter we will have a slightly more durable finish to offer folks who don't enjoy our climate. Pretty much all finishes except varnish are now Truetone so our website is being updated as we get new guitars in.
