haha, worried about squeezing in guitar time on the day you move in. you got more important stuff to worry about, youll find time for guitar whenever you want. youre in college now, worry about meeting new friends, find someone whos 21, can drive and lives off campus, etc... just have fun, guitar will make room for itself

because unless you have a case with a lock on it, it will get abused by other people

Just make a big deal about nobody touching it and leave it in the case, and you'll be fine.

do you really have a problem with people coming into your room and using your guitar without your knowledge? :shock:

my main axe sits on a stand in the middle of my room and it's become my roommate's main axe too but he's more careful with guitars than i am

man, you are cool!!! :shock:

You arent going to leave your guitar at home
You have a hard case with a lock for it
you'll have a lock on your door as well
you dont have to give anyone permission to unlock your door, unlock your guitar case, and then play your guitar.

If you are still worried then leave the POS at home.


end of thread.
