i love the looks of aged guitars but i am not a fan of relics. so i was just wondering can the new body finishes on the 2008 models look as aged as nitro finishes?? i have a 11 year old fender american telecaster but it still looks almost new. a few scratches and dents here and there.

In my experience, the poly coats are like bullet proof plastic. They'll still be around after the nukes fall for the roaches to play.

Hello Dingleberry,

I don't know how long the new 2008 finishes
will hold up or age, but my poly-armour coated
strat and tele still look showroom fresh,
8 years on strat, 11 on tele.

Cheers.

Yeah it will take a LONG time to wear through a poly finish. I heard the 08s are thinner though. Haven't seen one in person yet though.

I wish guitars aged faster, one reason I got a melody maker, don't have any finish except paint. I kind of cheated.

I'll make it simple. Everyone should sell their poly strats and buy an EJ. Fender would love the sales and you'll love your EJ's.
