Play the guitar for all you're worth for 30 years and they will age naturally with sweat and scum and crud from many sweltering gigs. Carry it with you everywhere; waiting for the bus in the rain, snow, summer festivals, smoky blues and jazz clubs... pay your dues, and maybe then metal parts will age nicely, rather than looking like they've been through a potato tumbler!
