I've only just had a chance to watch this, having read all the comments over the last day or so...
... it's not nearly as bad as I was expecting! :roll:
I'm a little bit more precious with mine than I used to be, but when I was gigging I treated mine roughly the same - the only thing I was concerned about was causing issues on the playing surface or putting to much strain on a neck. Bumping bodies into each other was nothing, they got far worse when in use on stage :lol:
I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by this chap - I was expecting a p1ssed tw@t, but he seemed ok to me.
I like the look of scalloped, and one day I might try it, but I'm not sure it's me, and it's an expensive experiment!
