I have the same guitar and I also love the look, but, I play it and enjoy it greatly. Maybe you should purchase another guitar exactly like the one you have then you could play one and put the other on a nice high altar?

OP I don't want to worry you but those finishes like yours are very thin and the colour comes off very easily (I have a Junior in the same type of finish).

You couldn't have picked a worse finish if you are nuts on trying to keep it pristine TBH.

My advice.....don't bother.

I like to keep my stuff nice but with those finishes it is going to wear.

It will still look good though.
