Apologies if this topic has already been discussed but I could not find..

I am trying to find out what finishes were used on the now discontinued CS Custom Classic Telecaster

There appears to be some contradictory reports regarding the body finishes with some users saying they have thin nitro-cellulose but others reporting poly in later production.

Thanks for the very helpful clarification.

I note that new Custom Deluxe now sports a nitro finish. It is curious that the CS changed the finish on the custom classic mid production. Why did they do that? Cheaper? Did they run short of nitro-lacquer? :)
It appears I have ordered one with the urethane finish when I thought I was getting one with nitro. A little disappointed. Oh well; less sticky I guess.

I am sure the guitar will sound equally as good with either finish. That said if 'dinged' lacquer tends to dent and is easier to repair but urethane will shatter and almost requires another layer to repair.. if repaired.
I will have to think twice when throwing the guitar.
