Eastman stops using Nitro switches to Truetone

[REHII]

Well this has caused quite a stir!!
What we need and should demand is a more definite date if the change in finish type , and a safe way to verify which type of finish we have.
I noticed when I drilled the pilot hole for a strap button that the first few pieces of finish that come off seemed very white and thicker than I thought it should be. If I had only saved them to see what would dissolve them.
I know that when a guitar sounds good then that is what I am looking for, but having just bought a new E6D-TC yesterday I really want to know which finish I have.
Eastman must try their best to give an honest answer to us all! Even if it is “I don’t know”
I did think that my new guitar did not smell like I thought it should, but it has been sitting in a glass case at the dealer since March and I thought the smell had just dissipated.
I don’t think I would return this guitar if it’s not nitro finished, and I couldn’t anyway after installing the strap button. (And removing the pick guard)
If the website spec says nitro then it should be nitro.

Ps I have over 100 guitars. After carefully comparing just now I think my new guitar is defiantly not nitro.
Feels like plastic.
