That was one of the things Leo Kottke talked about the advantages of doing his Taylor signature model since he could easily replace them while on tour.

I wonder if it's common for them to record with their nicer guitars and tour with their more easily replaceable less expensive guitars.
I imagine some do and some don't. I don't think I've ever seen James Taylor on stage with a cheaper guitar.
