Was just wondering as i now modern finnishes dont age the same?

Highway One series are nitro, the bodies are a matte finish which some people don't like.

However after playing a HW1 Strat for a few months it's started to shine up in places, you could probably polish them too but I haven't tried. It's a pretty thin finish apparently so you'd have to be careful not to go through.

Yep, my HW1 is nitro which ain't everyones cup of tea. Its grown on me though.

My highway 1 jazz has polished up nicely in a couple of places, and looks good in the wine finish. The nitro isn't to everyone's liking, but works for me. That sunburst is rather nice though

Hello,

As said Luke FRC, the American Vintage basses (57 Precision, 62 Jazz bass) have a nitro finish.
Of course, all the Custom Shop Time machine instruments.

Why are you interested in knowing that ? For the sound, the look ?

Good groove
