Fair enough.I would like to keep it pristine. I tend to be a little clumsy and unintentionally careless with stuff so dings, knocks, scratches and whatnot are common.
It would be hard for me not to play it, but I'm pretty easy on my guitars as far as scarring them is concerned. The natural wear showing on the finish of my Les Paul bothered me for quite a while. The fingerboard wear on my PRS just strike me as character. I play everything, and the high end ones are such a joy to play that I couldn't possibly let them become museum pieces.
And about bicycles: the one I ride the most is the most expensive one I own by a good margin. I paid for precision and shows - just like buying a private stock.
