Re: Not using valuable gear...
+1 - My nitro finish of my custom strat has become much more worn since I got it. That's why I picked up my Olympic White Strat - I'd have to take a chisel to that thing to make it look bad.
I buy guitars and warn them that they will get the crap beat out of em. I sometimes wish I was one that liked pretty pristine guitars, but I love the misfits and beaters.
At the Egnater amp class, Bruce had an old epiphone wilshire that was beat to crap and even had the headstock epoxied back on... I think his daughter even painted strawberries on it. I loved it. That guitar had a story to tell and was loved and sounded great. Most cringe at my explorer... But they shut up when they hold it and or hear it!
So in short... If you want your guitars staying pretty, don't let me play em!
