UV color fading...

I'd like to hang some of my nice looking Warmoths but I'm a bit concerned about UV fading the color.

Ever since my very first El Cheapo guitar faded from leaving it on a stand 100% of the time, I've kept all subsequent guitars in cases. But they look so nice, plus it's nice to be able to just grab it off the wall when I get a few minutes instead of lugging out a case.

So does Warmoth finish provide good UV protection? They obviously won't be in direct sunlight or anything like that, just ambient sunlight.

My very 1st warmoth, 10+ years old has not faded.  It is left out all the time.
I think finish may yellow with age but that take some serious time.

Direct sunlight will wreck anything given enough time, but Warmoth uses polyurethane, which is some pretty robust stuff. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
