"Varnish" Finish
I contacted the builder of a preowned guitar I am considering to find out if he used nitro. He replied as follows:
"I use varnish so you won't have any worries about finish checks, if the guitar case is smokin' hot from being in the sun, you might want to wait a few hours for things to even out before you take it out into an air conditioned area."
Does "varnish" mean oil varnish or are there other varnishes? I was expecting him to answer either nitro or urethane. Do modern urethanes fall into the varnish category?
I am following up with the builder, BTW. I thought it might make for an interesting discussion.

You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
