Well it seems to be settled. Do it! :)

Dude, does jumping around on stage or while you are playing and your GTR hits some thing is damaging? Bet your fur.

Unless you play everything with pick tapping don't "fret" about it (pun intended). I seriously doubt you will cause irrepairible damage even if you played everything with pick tapping.

A "rule of thumb" if it sounds good to you then play-it! :cool:

We don't purchase our guitars for show (most of us anyway). They come with hard cases or gig bags. Not plastic/glass display cases.

Have a good time and don't worry and --Fuh-get about it.....
