lol! well the thing is that im still waiting for an amp...ive yet to get it... im too broke for the moment but my sis promised to get me one sometime next month or so...so it shudn really matter...im just worried as i was told they rust easily that's why...if it really shudn be a problem then i will leave it alone... my acoustic seems to be fine... i got it a couple of months ago and i just leave it in sight... no rust yet... probably because it doesnt have as much steel as an electric...oh and i doubt i can quit smoking anytime soon... :p
