But think about it, what's the difference? Playing it every day or once a week, or having it just sit there. The tension is still constant. Actually, worse if you are playing it with bends and just the act of fretting.
I think a guitar that goes to pot just sitting there was heading that way anyhow and maybe you would not notice the degredation if you are playing every day.
