I will likely spray a bit lighter in certain places to make the wear a bit more rapid. I don’t put much finish on fretboards and none on the back of the neck.

There was an interview I saw with Clapton about when he first came to the States and went hunting for guitars. Apparently back in the 60's, Fender's and Gibson's weren't all that common in the UK, so they were a very desirable thing.
Anyway, he said that he always looked for the guitars that were a bit beat up, as by his logic it meant they were "well favored"
He compared it to looking inside a restaurant...if there are a lot of people inside, the food is probably good...if it's empty, not so much.
