Hey all, i'm wondering how many of you have a practice guitar that you use to save wear and tear on your favorite axes?

Nah, don't really worry about the wear and tear. I bought my guitars to play them not save them or keep them shiny for gigging.

Yeah, I have a cheap acoustic that performs that task rather well. I can put a scratch on it without feeling guilty.

The guitar I use for practice at any given time is like the guitar I use for any given song. It depends on my mood. I might play my Strat or it could be the Gretsch, or perhaps...

Depends, official practice I use the gear I use live. Personal pracicing around the house, my 95 strat or Squier LP.

I own three Stratocasters and rotate through then pretty regularly as not not wear them out so quickly.

nope, they all get the same abuse. i do however have a rebuilt gibson explorer that absorbs most of my metallica riffs. seriously, i beat the heck out that guitar.
i do baby my new strat a bit but that will change when the awe wears off. it's just such a great looking instrument. the sound is even better.

I have one acoustic guitar and one electric guitar, so my practice instruments are one and the same. I also have 3 5 string banjos and one tenor banjo and 2 mandolins. I agree with the other poster, my instruments are meant to be played, not just looked at. If I wanted art for the wall I would have bought a painting not an instrument.

I take good care of my guitars but I play the heck out of them (as time permits, family, new baby, etc). I own my guitars, they don't own me, ha ha. I bought them make music not be wall art.

I have two Squier Teles that I bought with the intention of using as practice guitars to keep the mileage low on my AM. Deluxe Tele, but they just don't feel or sound the same. I might sell them or use them as mod platforms.

'Personally, 'take good care of the harem and spread the wear out.

And shamefully, 'don't practice much, just play.

it all depends , it could be a strat an epi lp orsg or my old yamy apx accoustic but 9 times out of ten it's the sg400 , nice and light and very comfy into the bargain
