watch yourself fredrick, i dont appreciate your comment below
''Furthermore, I am aware that some here need to maintain and even amplify this hype and myth cause they sell and deal with those guitar.''
since i am the only one that applies to in this thread apart from you, then i assume you are accusing me of the above practice... if not i suggest you make that VERY clear..
please dont ever accuse me of hyping something to sell it, i do not operate like that as you should well know!!!
my point is simply that there are different types of nitro, some reactive, some thin some thick, some not reactive, just because something does not dissolve in acetone does not for me give 100% proof of the composition of the tested substance,
if Jacco has tested and blacklighted one of my greco 1800's then he is entitled to propose it may be something other than nitro, personally I have never tested any guitar with acetone, and i do not own a blacklight.
I am sure there are many types of finish used for MIJ guitars, for me if the catalogue says lacquer, then thats enough, I appreciate there are deviations from the catalogue specs, but I have to ask why? if you have a nitro spraying line set up for a certain level of guitar, (say the 1800's) then why on earth would you spray an EGF-1800 in any other way? and i dont believe that there were times when the nitro ''ran out''
so, my conclusion is that there were different batches of nitro made up, and these have different properties, thats what my main point is, so please dont start accusing me of any hyping, misleading, lying, whatever you want to call it, in the end you are accusing me of poor business practise, which I will not tolerate, i hope i have made myself clear...
