What are they going to look like after 30 years of gigging?

Worse. Much worse.

Maybe they`ll be like Benjamin Button and get newer looking, until finally completely pristine.

to their original relic condition?

They'll look exactly the same, just with a few 'bedroom dings' and a thick covering of dust from being in their owner's Uncle's loft.

They wont age too much because people nowadays own too many to wear one out significantly.

I think the kind of folks that buy reliced basses don't tend to keep their instruments for very long...

I think you may have a point there. Back in the day, people could really afford only one decent guitar which got used all the time.
Now we have two or more back ups.

They'll look better than their owners I'd imagine.
