Fender type necks that are straight would be no problem. Other tilt back headstock axes that are thin I imagine might suffer a bit but only after a prolonged stay in that position. So if you're just laying the thing down for a bit to grab a bite or a beer I wouldn't worry.

Obviously it isn't a big deal with straight necks but I don't do it with angled necks.

That's what scares me too. Someone dropping a wah (or other heavy pedal) on the neck and now you got a nice new crack.

It won't hurt anything to lay a guitar down, but I just glued a broken headstock on a vintage Gibson acoustic. The guy laid it down on the sofa, and his drunk daughter and boyfriend came home.....the drunk boyfriend sat right on the neck.

Any dumbass that doesn't care enough about and not have that much respect for their guitar deserves for it to get tripped over, stepped on, and broken.
