Will this warp the neck?

I have my guitar currently tuned a half step down and the rest of my band can't be bothered to tune down as well so I'm stuck with transposing everything but it sucks at songs were I could really use open strings.

Is it bad for the neck if I tune to standard for about 3 hours without adjusting the trus rod and then back to half step down when I get back home? And I'd be doing that twice a week.

I have a 1570 by the way. I know the change is not much.. but I better ask first :p Thanks!

I think that , besides the pain in the a** it is to keep tuning, the only problems would be that you might have slightly higher action when you tune up if your neck is nicely adjusted for the half down tuning. Or, you may end up with a little more fret buzz when you detune if your guitar is set up to play best at standard.
