of course Earl is correct, but he is only talking about tone. I'm not talking about tone but only aesthetics, but I re-read my post and can see that it could be more clear.

Think of it this way; wooden guitars not only sound better with age, but they also look cool with all their imperfections over the years. That's the mojo of wood. A beat up CF guitar will only begin to look like a beat up automobile. Or kinda like white tennis shoes- they are going to look the best they ever do the first time you wear them.

Fine if you take good care of them(and I realize that every one here does) but decades have a way of making anything look dated.

Everything is subject to wear. I have pick scratches on both my CF guitars these days, but unlike my wood guitars any damage that happens to them isn't as likely to hurt as much. That's why I like to use them the most these days when I am out and about.

The decades have done a number on this ol' guy!

But, my guitars still look good.
