"Musicians risk such afflictions as "guitar nipple" or "fiddler’s neck" playing their instruments, a new dermatology study has reported. The report said guitarists could suffer a form of mastitis, a breastinflammation, while holding the instrument against their chests."

Imagine what happens to accordion players with all that pinching there.

I don't have to tell you guys what happens with those low hanging strap lengths, right...?

"Look, dear, it's my latest invention."

"It looks like a...well...a leather man-bra!"

"Exactly, my dear! It is a padded leather man-bra to prevent the dreaded Guitar Nipple. I have also invented a leather jock strap to prevent Guitar Crotch for players who hold their guitars lower, and...it will also be useful for 'Cello players!

...Plus, here's the true genius of it...it also prevents buckle rash with an optional accessory that can be attached to either the bra or the jock strap!"

"Brilliant! How soon do we market it?"

"Well, I've already made arrangements to do some crowd-funding or go on Shark Tank!"

"Excellent! We'll be rich overnight!"

"Yes, rich, I tell you! Now I'm going to go out and get myself a new Private Stock, I've earned it!"

"Capital idea!"

"Yes! Capital!"

Not as much as I'd like too. Two weeks in China, a week in San Diego (it was cold), after work I'm putting in a garden, make supper, clean up, it's 10:00 before I can open up a case.
 
Recurrent episodes of guitar nipple can lead to RNS (Relic'd nipple syndrome).

Beat me to it...kind of. I was wondering if anyone would artificially relic their nipple in order to look like more of a player :D **


** no offense to anyone who is a fan of relicing

You guys didn't know about this?!?!?!? I've always used a vice, pliers and a router. Use good, industrial tools for best effect. My nipple is SO shredded!!! I especially like it when I go to a rock show and lift my shirt to expose my nipple. They all keep their distance, because they KNOW who is in the house....

There's a known problem called "joggers nipple" which is probably the same but I can't imagine why anyone would hold a guitar against their nipples, I can only assume they mean "guitar strap".

The only guitarist I recall who may have had this kind of an issue with an actual guitar is Gerry Marsden:

"Although not life threatening, they may lead to impaired performance and occupational hazard."

Just what I need, underperforming nipples putting my day job at risk...

On the contrary my friend, there are and have been several sufferers of this evil affliction that curses the guitar world.

Even newer acts like Cage the Elephant


Prog rockers like Fripp


A well known sufferer Morello


Many of the greats had bouts with this scourge of male mammaries




But I think the real question is.........

...if you're a semi baddass rhythm guitar player in an 80's british hair-metal-pop band and you rock it like this...........



 
I can't play a guitar long enough to cause me any kind of harm :(
