Here's the deal on the multitude of finishes... if it's not commonly being used, it sux... there is something wrong with it. Most often it doesn't provide adequate protection, it wears off too soon. That's why I don't use tung oil, danish oil, or any of the "off the wall" finishing systems.
When a large manufacturer introduces a "new" finish, it's only for one of two reasons, either it speeds up the manufacturing process, or it's for marketing reasons. They aren't ever going backwards regarding finishing technology, ever...
Not that doesn't mean other finishing systems will not suit your needs, it's just that I build guitars to be around for a few years, and I want the finish to be there for the long haul.
Throughout the guitar's history virtually every type of finish has been tired, those that work well, are known, those that didn't are long forgotten as a bad idea.
If ya wanna do it right, then do it right, but if you want to experiment, have at that too, that can be a lotta fun too.
