Life is short, so I bring whichever guitar I want to play at the festival, not the guitar I should play at the festival. I've even dragged my 1933 Epiphone Olympic, which I consider irreplaceable, around campfires at night. It's a very personal decision, and there is no right or wrong answer. The way I personally look at it is this: If I worried about putting the occasional dent or ding in my guitar, maybe I shouldn't play bluegrass in the first place. ;-)
