exactly.

i guess it depends on the person, for me if scratches happen from playing the instrument with a lot of energy then whatever (even on my $1400 one). on the other hand if it gets dinged up because someone didn't pay attention when they put it down and it slipped and fell, then that's not cool.

either way the issue needs to be addressed at the start of any musical session. if some gear is supposed to be off limits then let everyone know before things get going. trying to address it during or after the fact is going to cause hassles.
