-- Posted by guitar guy3200 at 9:08 pm on June 13, 2008 Any other musicians have this worry? Ive been playing guitar for a long time and would like to still be able to play in college. Its a pretty big passion of mine. I wouldnt want my guitar stolen though. -- Posted by carracer at 9:09 pm on June 13, 2008 good point... buy a cheap one to take to college? -- Posted by cody c box at 9:09 pm on June 13, 2008 fuck it -- Posted by MXfreak at 9:10 pm on June 13, 2008 get a case that locks, then get a bike chain, like the one where you can tie your bike to a pole in public places, then tie your guitar case, by the handle, to your bed or something that cant be removed. that will keep it safe =] -- Posted by carracer at 9:10 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from cody c box at 9:09 pm on June 13, 2008 fuck it a dedicated musician would never give up their instrument -- Posted by gr8akia at 9:14 pm on June 13, 2008 i wouldnt worry about it that much. -- Posted by guitar guy3200 at 9:18 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from carracer at 9:10 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from cody c box at 9:09 pm on June 13, 2008 fuck it       a dedicated musician would never give up their instrument I may just take my cheaper guitar. Im trying to get over the whole, selfish thing if you will. I worked hard for my current guitar, it cost me $1800. If i dont use it as much at least it will make it that much more special when I do get to play out and gig. It will only be about 30 45 mins away. -- Posted by carracer at 9:19 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from guitar guy3200 at 9:18 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from carracer at 9:10 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from cody c box at 9:09 pm on June 13, 2008 fuck it        a dedicated musician would never give up their instrument       I may just take my cheaper guitar.

I was planning on headphones + pedal. Hopefully the sound of the actual strings wont but the roommate. -- Posted by twilightdancer at 5:56 pm on July 16, 2008 why would your roommate take your guitar?? i don't understand... my boyfriend brought all 3 of his guitars last year, had 3 roommates, they all got to be really good friends, and anyway if your roomie took something that would be so stupid because you'd obviously know and it would be way awkward... most people have at least a tiny bit of common sense lol... i wouldn't worry about it.
