Hi Scotty...
Good for you! Playing an hour a day, and keeping a properly humidified and well attended guitar is a great thing. And if it improves in a few years, that will be a plus.

If it's going to age/mellow/open up, it will happen gradually over a few years of regular play. It's not going to be as noticeable with laminated sides and back as with an all solid guitar.

It will likely never sound like a Cedar topped instrument. I've played quite a few 30+ year old solid instruments and invariably they have mellowed out not become brighter, so If you forced me to predict, I'd say if you keep playing it and keep it in good condition, it will likely be mellower in 25 years than it is now.
