The Old Red LS100 from 1981/2 has the best nitro finish I have seen on a tokai.
After seeing very little effect after applying acetone on many springy's and Reborns I was amazed at the ease with which the nitro comes off.
The Nitro makes the guitar an absolute piece of beauty, the red has aged to a wonderful old tone without much cracking etc. it just makes the colour look and feel old.
I have yet to get a springy 80+ to convince me it isn't poly finish, maybe with a thin thin coats of nitro.

Both my 1979 LS80 and 1981 LS100 whipe off right away. There's an Old Red on it's way to me as we speak, will do the test and see if it's any different. Curious!
makaze, a guitar stand with rubber will "burn" Tokai nitro.I just noticed some Tokai nitro called "laquer" is hard than "all laquer" finish. I do prefer all laquer and it makes a model cost a lot more (ie:LS-540 over LS-420)
