Physical Test for Nitro vs Truetone
#4
Here is a webpage that talks about how to tell if it’s nitro.
Alcohol, acetone, and lacquer thinner will dissolve nitro finish.
I don’t know what dissolves trutone.
This page says he can buff out the small mark made by the test in nitro.
I would test under a tuner.
But if the guitar sounds great does it matter?
What finish, is it “real” mahogany, is that rich lite or ebony,red,Sitka,alpine,German ,carpathian, engalmann ,lutz or moon.
Are those waverlys or pings?
I think in the future as materials get scarce guitar lovers will have to be more tolerant of new materials and techniques.
How does it sound and play?
