I've been tapping beats on the soundboard of my old S&P and just messing about for an hour or so seemed to leave quite a few marks.
It's old and at the stage where it takes a beating well so I don't care.
But I just wonder at what point you start destroying your new guitar. I mean if you spend 3k on a Lowden and it's a big part of your style, do you just wade right in so it looks like Monte Montgomery's or Jon Gomm's guitar by the end of the week, or do you wait a while and stick to playing nicely for a while. Or just buy second hand?

I don't really do it much myself, I'm really just a straight up fingerstyle player, do the odd bit for loops but it was the Wonga type fellas I was wondering about. Lots of expensive guitars, there must be a point where they go, yes this is a keeper and start whacking it like a snare....
I think everybody has different ways of getting the most out of guitars, each to their own. But plenty of people cherish their guitars too much as well, never leave the house and worry about every little scratch, I'd put my self in the middle, 'just play the bloody thing' camp.
