Proper nitro on the body isn't bad. Just play any Music Man guitar. Of course many of those have tru oil on the necks.

Mark does not do no relic work...

You can order one "Closet Clean", which is pretty close.

Re: Aftermarket strat bodies. nitro finish

Id really like to grab a knopfler body, as that is my fave strat color ever and a 57 style body contour, but they are pretty expensive on the bay. Nearly twice as much as the suggestions here.

That said, Ive decided to do a makeover on my Tele first. And these links have helped for that as well. Thanks everyone

Most Fender bodies no matter what model or series you go with will not have a pure, 100% true nitro finish.

As for poly vs nitro I personally consider this a dead topic but since it is creeping into this thread I'll give my 2 cents...

No, poly on it's own is not a bad way to finish a guitar but it will never, ever be as thin, be as acoustically transparent, wear as well or feel as good over time as nitro...period.

Mark's closet clean is pretty reliced most of the time.

I'm not slamming Mark or his work, he does great finish work and good relic work but if you want a nitro guitar that looks brand new Mark Jenny would be my last choice.
