Never kept it in a case, tripped over it numerous times, dropped it way too many times to remember, never use a guitar stand...just sorta lean it up against whatever's handy....clean it maybe once a year...
It's a total mess but that's what I like about it.
Every bump and scrape has a story behind it and it's worn away in all the right places.
It drives me nuts when some guys won't even let you pick up their guitar just in case you scratch it.
It's like..jeez bud, get it laminated or put it in a vault or something.
What's the point of having it if you aren't going to constantly use it all the time and make it a part of your daily life.
