Finish checking on Fender guitars in 1958

I've noticed over the years that Fender models made in 1958 seem to have quite a unique, far more exaggerated, finish check to them if they are worn. This is very apparent on the necks. I know Fender had issues the strat decal during this year. Does anyone have any insight why this might be?

Some quickly found examples below, am aware of many others however:

Thank you so much! Have updated.

Don't know how much more aggressive than, say, blackguards etc but as you can see they aged quickly right out the gate!
