>>3167964>There is literally no reason to justify propping a guitar upYeah, every time you have to stop playing your guitar--EVEN FOR AN INSTANT--you must carefully put it back in the case and put the case somewhere safe and temperature controlled, then retrieve it and take it back out of the case when you're ready to play again. Even if, as this guy says, it's a shitty guitar, it must be treated with the utmost reverence and respect at all times. Honestly, you shouldn't even ever play it, because that could potentially damage the strings or the coating on the wood.
And for God's sake, never expose it to sunlight. As any real musician knows, "guitar" comes from a Latvian word meaning "Stringed vampire", because they will literally burst into flames if exposed to direct sunlight for even a second.
Owning a guitar is an unending soul crushing burden and you must treat it as such. Don't let us catch you setting your guitar down casually ever again.
