I also think there is something about nitro finishes that compliment the tone of the guitar, perhaps the sustain etc. I'm no expert, but it seems to be the desirable way to go. And it looks cool as they naturally age, get dinged up etc.
I never understood the modern trend of buying new guitars that have been faux aged/weathered. Buy a fuggin guitar, play the shit out of it OR buy an actual used/vintage instrument that has gone through the natural process.
