They will last 65.920394 years and then spontaneously combust.

Naw, like the others have said even neglected laminates can last for a long long time. For example, my first guitar (some sort of all laminate, the headstock says "Norma" but I've never been able to dig up much information on it and since his stroke pappaw doesn't remember where/when he got it) used to belong to my grandfather and mom's pretty sure she remembers him playing it when she was a kid, so it's probably at least 50 some odd years old now. And I know it spent at least 15 of those years in my closet waiting for me. So even with neglect that guitar's lasted 50 years (more), is still playable, and shows no signs of serious damage.
