I don't care about the aging - I think it looks cool, but I don't buy a guitar because of it. The aging is tasteful on my MLs - the LP has a little more dings and scratches than the 335, which just has light checking, but both genuinely look and feel like old guitars. Only thing missing is musty old cigarette smell.
I bought both of my MLs (online, mind you; I didn't get to play them beforehand) because the rumors were that the MLs were a step up from your average Custom Shop guitar. Maybe I just got lucky, but the rumors were true for the two that I got. Super comfortable necks, very resonant wood, good weight (7.5 lbs for the 335, 8.2 lbs for the LP) and something different about the Custombuckers (for the first time I have not felt the urge to rip them out and replace them with boutique pups).
I'd happily buy another ML or two if I can afford them. Would like an SG and an LP Custom.
