2008 White Gibson Flying V

Yesterday I purchased a used 2008 white 67 Reissue Flying V. This is the oldest Gibson I currently own, and also the only one with a white finish. I have three 2014 hi-gloss models, but the finish feels quite different on them as opposed to the 2008 white V. On the 2014s, I can lightly tap the finish with a guitar pick and it will ding it...it's that sensitive. On this white one, it feels like a hard shell. Very hard to ding (not that I'm trying other than a light tap test with a pick.)

 

Does nitro get harder with age, or is there something different about white nitro versus other color nitro? Serial number (which is barely visible as it looks like the finish filled in the stamped area quite smoothly) matches the paperwork I received with the guitar. Have I been had? Truss rod looks just like other Gibsons. Just this finish thing has me perplexed.

 

Thanks in advance for reading this rambling post.
