Quality never goes out of style.
Besides, who says you have to play 80's music on it?
And who says it's a problem if you want to?
The Jackson Soloist is a modern classic, and I will defend ad nauseam your right to indulge.

Poly doesn't wear with a lot of grace the way some other finishes do. It tends to get chips, scratches, and gouges, as opposed to smooth wear spots like nitro does. It's usually a series of accidents and the ugly wounds they leave behind that characterize the relic job on a guitar like this -- apart from the hardware and frets just taking a general beating like they do on any guitar. If anything, there might be a gradual softening and "hazing" of the finish over time, as microscopic scratches cover the surface and take the gloss away over the years.
I'm thinking back to a Kramer Focus I used to have, and it had aged nicely over a quarter-century or so.
Imagine how cool that would be as a relic!

@ aceman: Yeah they do... for just under $450...(even cheaper in the US)
Upgrade the pickups and/or bridge & you have a fine sounding/looking/playing shred monster
