A tip for the guitarist who hopes to keep a guitar pristine:
Never bend over an open guitar case on the floor if you have something in your shirt pocket — like glasses, a pen, a capo or tuner. I’ve more than once had to quickly swat something away to keep it from landing on my guitar as it fell out of my shirt pocket!
