    Other people playing your guitars...

    When I was a teen, I recall the horror as a friend of mine's new Rickenbacker 4001 got its back scarred badly by a drummer's American eagle belt buckle. Guy just picked it up wthout permission and started goofing around. I've trained my kids (17,15,12) to wash their hands, no sharp objects...

    Is this a normal tuning problem for a Les Paul?
