What years did Guild use Lacquer and when did they start using Poly on their hollowbodies?
Thanks,

There was plenty of polyurethane sprayed in Westerly (solidbodies and archtops)
I'll leave Hans to expound in Vol. II

Whoops! Time to upgrade my meds.
Thanks for the clarification.

If you want to try to get a chip of finish from some unobtrusive place on the guitar, like from around the truss opening under the TRC, you could see if it will dissove in acetone (Fingernail polish remover). Poly won't dissolve, NCL will.Ravon said:Welcome caredwards. I've got a couple of '96 X170's and curious as to know myselfcaredwards said:So what models and years if there was poly?
