Yeah, youre correct about stripping poly bodies. If I ever do that again, Im sending it off to be chemical dipped and stripped. You get a better result too....no matter how much filling and sanding you do after a heat gun strip, the nitro shows every defect in the wood under the new paint.
I doubt the custom shop ones are nitro either. VOC laws. Unless they do it with rattle cans LOL. All the Fenders that I know of are poly finished with that God awful basecoat filler.
