Even the 'thin skin' non custom shop USA guitars that were built for the big retailers like Music Machine & Dave's are nitro. Even the Roadworn MIM bodies are nitro..

THis is what I understood....although the 'nitro' on the cheaper gits is shot over poly base coats.
Gibson USA and Gibson Custom shop are all "nitro". But- what F&G are calling "nitro cellulose" today is not what was being shot in the 50s and 60s...its too damn toxic for use.
We re-finned this one with nitro lacquer...smells unreal, and did for months after
