I was going to say something similar, but yours is way more romantic and hits home better.
My thinking was 'Just dont make a big deal about this in her view!', as you're the "guitar expert" and this stuff got by you. At this point, whatever the little issues are.... just be quiet about it as...
What a cool cabinet! I already feel sorry for your wife/gf/close friends though... they're going to be so fking tired of hearing you tell this same story.
