1. let it get*relic'ed*
2. be extra careful to not let it get damaged (it's 11 years old and been kept under the bed, it's 9.8 out of 10).
3. polish the satin finish to gloss, hardening the nitro so it's not so fragile.

I would definitely go #2.. I have some relic'ed guitars. But those are just a result of age and a lot of playing. Today I am extra careful when I play. No rings, no big belt buckles and I play a lot more attention to where I am. I have slammed guitars into stacks over the years on stage and it always made my stomach turn. The other thing I quit doing, is just setting them up against something. If I'm not playing it, it's in the stand.
