Most of the guitars on the above mentioned UMGF thread re standard series Martins, and most of the customs do not have the thinner finish. It’s also worth noting the Authentic series has the thinnest finish of all, and I’m not seeing many Authentics listed (although not impossible).
My 000-28 did have a thinner finish If I remember correctly. Thanks for the input.
