Well... it will get played. But I don't play electric guitars all that much, most of my experience is on an acoustic. But I'm very careful with my guitars. My 35 year old Taylor looks almost like new, there's a little of the finish rubbed off right above the pick guard where I guess sometimes I strike the top just short of the edge of the pick guard. And the gold is a little worn on the tuners, but they still look gold.
I'm not going on world tour, and I don't gig 9 nights a week so it won't wear out anytime soon, but I do plan on it being a player.
