Both modifications have added to the instrument, and when not in use, don't affect it at all. I have had several instances over the years where I needed to amplify, and microphones just don't do it for me. The only modifications I have made to the instrument over the years have been the addition of a Fishman Acoustic Matrix Natural I piezo pickup under the bridge saddle, and later on I also added the Fishman VTB volume and tone controls. When it was brand new, the top was so light it was almost white. The wood and finish have darkened/goldened some, but that's something to be expected, and quite honestly I like it. It's seen a lot of playing, but honestly, I don't think it looks any more worn than it did in the first year I owned it. This guitar is coming up on 30 years old now. This was my first new instrument I'd been "borrowing" my older brother's electric prior to this. I was taking guitar lessons at the time, and my teacher wanted me to learn on an acoustic.
