      I do it by not acting like a hyperactive chimpanzee.
      I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

      The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

          Don't play yngwie and toss it around your back.
          Dont stand it up where it could fall over.
          I myself will take a chip on the headstock as opposed to a neck break.
          The rhoads tips-stay away from EVERYTHING while playing and buy strap locks.

              For the wings on mine around the house or practice or whatever... I use these (see pic). I got em off ebay quite a while ago... When playing live I took em off, was careful, and immediately stuck the guitar back in the case... as for the headstock - just be careful.

                I put a big big blob of "poster putty" (blu-tac) on mine.

                    Stop showing off that CS KV. You know full well I want a WR1 in that finish!

                      I'm going with the hyperactive monkey defense.
                      I feel festive all year round. Deal with it.

                        Just by being careful. I've had my RR5 for a few years now, gig with it regularly and still no dings or chips on the tips.

                          Easiest way, buy imports for when you want to run around like a maniac and leave the good stuff in the case.
                          In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on Nyquil

                            For real, just watch where you are going. It's like:
                            "How do I stop hurting my head when it hits the wall?"
                            Either watch out or wear a helmet. HAHA
                            I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.
