Check out Chris Stapelton's Tiny Desk concert. Someone asked him about his old Gibson LG2 with the worn to wood patches. He said he had a lot of guitars, but just came back to this one, and he didn't cause the finish wear. He just found the sound that worked.
There is a lot of paid promotion going on too. I mean, is playing a Taylor on tour going to ruin your sound? Probably not. I would not pass up the free money at that point if I were in that position.
