I'm curious what you guys would choose if you had to get by with just one guitar. An acoustic dreadnaught? An OM? A hollowbody electric with 50 possible pickup settings? A Taylor x14ce? I think that would be my choice at this point.

Only one guitar?
That is inhumane :cry:
I would choose an acoustic myself, probably a nice cutaway.

Just one guitar, but for the rest everything else? A ES335 with build in Variax and Variax Accoustic pickups, besides the regular pups. That should do the trick for a while. Should be cheaper then many custom Gibbys...

I am not sure if it is timing or not but since I got to play a Taylor T5 today I have to second Mikes vote.

However, you will never get me to agree to just one. :twisted:

I was wondering about a parker too. The Taylor T5 had slipped my mind, too new I guess.

Funny thing, I was playing my T5 only minutes ago, and pretty much thinking the same thing. It's not perfect, but if I had to settle for one, it would be the T5. It's not my favorite electric (yet), but is the best all around guitar I own. That makes four votes.

Yeah, and if we're doing the "on an island" thing, a really good tube amp, a POD XT Live, and a laptop with all that cool Line6 software (Custom shop, etc. etc.), Garageband 2, a saltwater powered battery, and wireless internet, etc...

Oh yeah, and a lever thing on the ES335 that switches from low action to really high action for slide (an Es335 is my dream guitar for slide) 8)

67 Martin D12-20

That way you can string it as a 12 string or a 6 string.

If we're talking "Desert Island Discs" here, and you're allowed one luxury, it'd have to be the Squier Tele....with the added rider that I could take the Cube amp.....and have an unlimited supply of D'Addario 9's....

:D :D :D

I'll take my Alhambra 4P Classical; but if I could have the choice of any guitar, it'd probably be that £12,000 Ramirez Classical they had at the Classic Guitar Centre not so long ago.

Best,

I'm with Ricochet on this one...............too much GAS, especially lately with a surge in spending on gadgets/gear and enjoying it too much!! :D

If it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing.

Make that 5 for the T5 and man am I green with envy
