yep yep, i spose every1's diff, some ppl mite worship equipment and it mite be a crush to their confidence to know that they're "damaging their equipment" and then others might see that "damage" as wear and tear and use. scratches caused by a belt on the back or unseen part of a guitar that does not interfere with electronics, playability, tone or the cosmetic elements of a guitar is not really a major concern IMO.
