Eclipse finishes?

Does the durability of the finish vary from guitar to guitar? Based on color perhaps? I've heard stories of the vintage black finish wearing quickly and was curious as to whether that'd also be true of say, the snow white, or the vintage white, or any of 'em.

Satin finishes become shiny in areas of extensive wear (neck). Gloss finishes stay fairly consistent.

Yeah sure, just like any other finish. Poly, nitro, oil, etc. all have their own tonal characteristics. Obviously, you need to decide if a specific guitar sounds good or not.
