More metal in a strat bridge?

I bet part of it is nitro versus poly. Nitro breathes and poly does not. Humidity will have a greater effect on a nitro finished guitar.

Don’t worry, maybe he’ll be back to ask if you’re serious about effectively sealing wood with a non-breathable poly-coating for the purpose of preventing moisture exchange with the environment, thus limiting the vulnerability of the protected wood to environmental conditions(this would include off-gassing of moisture in the wood due to excessive heat-like exposure to direct sunlight) ....it’s all good
I like the way you think, so far! Fellow Lefty...

Took only the 1987 Squirecaster to rehearsal. 110°F today. About 90°F in the garage. I ran a 50 foot cord outside and played in the sunlight off and on for 4 hours.

Never had to touch the tuning keys.

Interesting!!!

At least that’s how mine work!
