Very interesting thoughts Howard.
I agree about the relic-topic: that's not "real", it's just "fake" natural wear.
I wonder if opened up guitars count as Wabi Sabi? I think they might, because it's a natural evolution of the object changing from use and time.
Perhaps the spiritual thing to try to find here is the ability to embrace something's "inner" beauty. It's imperfections don't detract from that - in fact they are part of it.
Like a rock that is worn by water - it is imperfect as a rock once was, but it is beautiful in it's time-worn state. And no less "functional"
It will be interesting to see your take on embracing this.
