I love the finish on my electric guitar (transparent semi-metallic red burst to extremely dark metallic crimson), but if it gets a nick or two in it, well, it's becaus ei play it. When I got it I knew it had barely been played. It didn't even have an scratches on the back from belt buckles etc. It still looks incredibly new for a 1993 guitar, but I'm not going to scream if it gets a couple of little scratches. (Big ones on the other hand :eek: )
