Yeah....I considered that.
You could be right but I dont' think there's much to worry about.
First...they advertise this stuff as flexible and the guy said he sold this stuff to lots of electric builders. He recommended the stringed instrument lacquer for acoustics...which lent him some credibility since he knew enough to discuss the issue. I think the main reason acoustic builders use the softer stuff is that they need to put it on quite thin and have it flex along with the vibrating surfaces. Which is to say that with electrics the surface material isn't nearly in the same dynamic environment.
Second...they also advertise that the material is very resistant to marring....which speaks to it's toughness. Generally, plastics that have good toughness properties are resistant to microcracking....crazing being a direct consequence of microcracks.
Third...I'm keeping two of these guitars and sending the other two out to people that know they are getting...more or less...prototypes. They both play lots of live music and they'll put them through the ringer.
We'll see.
