Agreed, Rocket. I've been wearing my belt buckles one loop to the left since I started playing in 1963. Belt buckle scratches on the back of a guitar are unforgivable. I take EXTREMELY good care of all my gear - always have.Originally Posted by Rocket
All of my guitars are in either hardshell cases or gigbags. I don't display any of them b/c who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of cable techs or phone repairmen or any other intruder into my domicile! Displaying them is an invitation to the wicked for stealing them! Paranoia strikes deep!

Wow. I like that picture of what happens to the guitar if you don't wear yer condom... hmm yeah right.
The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.
Master Guitar Academy - I also teach via SKYPE.
Yep, that's the point...common sense is all it takes if you care not to 'relic' your guitars. I either kept buckles to the side, or covered them with stage garb ... an untucked shirt, or some sort of vest or jacket.Originally Posted by Rocket
No riveted jeans and I wear a belt, but I buckle it on my side for gigs. I also wear untucked shirts. No buckle rash on my guitars.Originally Posted by Rocket
