Good to Know! I once picked up an acoustic guitar and my Sub was fine, Gold might cause an issue so no DD. Didn't play it as I have no musical instrument talent.

"Is It Safe" to play a 12 String guitar Maybe someone will test it out for us...

Grrr. The latest scratch in my hulk bracelet was from working on the car. So I guess it wasn't safe for me.

Yes but then we'd need another thread to determine whether or not it's safe to sticky.

1980.

Had my 1601 for a couple of years whe i was orking on my 1976 Triumph Spitfire. Tight space so took it off and put it down on the wiper.

Two hors later drove 2 miles to dinnerwith my fiance. Got told we were early for our reservation.

No watch.

Back tracked and found it face up in the middle of a 4 lane road.

Put it back on and back to dinner.

Only sat on the road for 20 minutes or so.
