No problems lending anything of mine to anyone who's fairly sober. Drunks get refused politely. But I *do* choose instruments to suit environment. If I'm going to be in a tightly-packed session where there's a significant risk of things getting bashed, I'll probably bring my steel-body resonator, on the grounds that anything it collides with is likely to come off worse (including chairs, tables, the floor, other musicians... ;-)
