I can’t stop gigging my private stocks!

[GuitarJammin]

New Year’s Eve gig! And geez how do y’all keep your private stocks at home?! I haven’t been able too as of late! I did however give the Santana a break this time!

So far I haven’t had any damage or anything. Couldn’t hold it back for new years!

 

[dmatthews]

I would too! Congrats!

 

[Alnus Rubra]

H3ll yeah!

 

[theDeepender]

I’d gig with mine, if I had one. But I’d be very picky about the environment I’d take her into.

 

[veinbuster]

Heck ya!
Buy them to play them.

 

[KurtDog]

Awesome setup! Why buy a guitar if you're just gonna leave it in a case?

Kiler! Play it loud, play it proud!

 

[Moondog Wily]

If you've got it, rock it!

 

[Jo-]

This is what it was meant for. Play it loud and proud. It's a beauty, the world needs to see it.

I gig mine all the time! Although my gigs are recording sessions, it doesn't matter.

We buy 'em to play!

 

[JasonE]

If I had one, and I had a gig, I would take it. I take all of my guitars out to play. I am extremely careful with them.

 

[ScottR]

IF I had one and I gigged… YOU KNOW IT!! I would play it like I stole it. And If you ever see me playing one, I probably did.

I have one and i don't gig it. My Custom 22 has "face-planted" on the stage when the bassist tripped over the cord and yanked it off the stand. I've banged into speakers, mic stands, the lead singer swinging his arms everywhere, not to mention people coming up on the stage and wanting to dance with us and spilling beer all of me and my guitar. Gig enough and you may change your mind. We play BIG bars, casinos and parties so there's always a lot of opportunity to mess something up. I do take my PRS Custom 22 and either a Les Paul Standard, Strat or my new Parker to gigs- I just draw the line on bringing a $ 10K guitar into a bar!

Like Paul himself told us at one of the early PRS Experiences, "Don't put 'em in a glass case-PLAY 'EM!"

 

[PRSWILL]

Easy to say for a multi-millionaire with unencumbered access to the best stuff in the factory! I do play mine at practices and private stuff- just not regular gigs.

I’ve played private stocks and always take an R9 to bar gigs. That said, I don’t GAF why or what somebody does with THEIR guitar. Why would I?

Only one thing stopping me from gigging mine!

Ironically, I've not gained a single nick or dent from the same R9 I always take. I'm careful, but maybe if I had more stage presence it would take a beating. Maybe I'll Pete Townshend it next time. Wait..............uh, no.
