I may have mentioned this somewhere (likely more than once in similar threads), but I'll say it again here just fer sh!ts and giggles...

Regarding that 'aging it by playing it' thing... you can also, if you're the kind of person who leaves your guitar out of the case,(Or you live somewhere with a moderate enough climate that you CAN do...) sat on a stand, make sure that stand is near your stereo speaker... The satin top will 'resonate' in sympathy with whatever you play, and that will also help the guitar 'age'... so play it, practice on it, and when ya store it, let it sing along with yer CDs!
