I tried the search function but was unable to find an answer but apologies if this has been covered before.
I am looking to add a 1970’s Starfire IV to my Guild collection and was trying to gain an understanding of the type of finish utilized on these models. What I am trying to understand specifically is whether they are all lacquer or if they transitioned to poly at some time in the 1970‘s. My preference is lacquer. I have looked at a few late 1970‘s examples (all remote through photos) and some of the finish cracking and such makes me think poly rather than lacquer but this might just be due to the thickness of the finish applied. Thanks
