So I was playing my NS Starfire V recently and noticed some gunk on the finish from sweat and the like (it's hot here in Florida, and fairly warm even this time of year). Which got me thinking, "how long would it take to wear through or wear down the finish on this guitar so that it looks old and played through in certain spots?" Guild's website has it listed a Gloss Polyurethane finish. Which my limited experience tells me is quite thick and very tough. But curious if anyone has been able to naturally show any wear on it, especially in places where your arms and or hands are in constant contact with the guitar.
I'm not super interested in the worn look, and don't want to 'relic' a guitar to achieve it. Just curious what I should expect out of it.
