Which one (and only one) of your guitars do you save and why?

And remember:

The one on the left. 1968 Ovation Tornado. Beat to hell and not original pickups, but it's probably the best playing best sounding (yes, over the Rickenbacker and Hagstrom) out of all my guitars and it would be the hardest to replace (3 digit serial number, 519 to be exact)

The true answer to this question is that if my house was on fire and all living things were already safe and outside, I probably would be so confused as to which one I would save that they would all burn down by the time I made up my mind.

That's a toughy, its between these two

if the house was on fire i'd run in and grab one of these on impulse and get the charred remnants of the other when the fire was put out.

The Les Paul was my 16th birthday present and is amazing in feel and tone.
The Mustang feels like it was made for me, the light weight, the low-output pickups and that perfect neck.

I feel like whichever I grabbed in hindsight i would regret not grabbing the other.

i would try to grab as many as possible. i would make sure my girlfriend came so i could throw a couple in her hands. i supposed i'd need to grab my pedal board and my peavey xxx combo, too.

wonder if i could strap my vox to my cat?

I cant answer, they are all over the house. Financially i'd save the 64 Jaguar but sentimentally i'd save the Jap 80s Flying V.

My Jazzmaster; the guitar I've wanted since 1990.

Probably my Mustang. It's an odd thing, made of re-issue parts, not worth much. But ITS THE BEST. It's not the most valuable but I wanted a mustang sooo much. I have 2 hands though and so would grab my K.Yairi acoustic too.

or course:

Though i'd be gutted choosing between my baja and my strat, strat would be the one i'd leg it with. i love that thing to death, even though we've fell out a few time and nearly parted ways. i'd be fucked gutted if i didn't have it now.





Fuck it, i'd burn with my guitars. we'd be together till the end.

Amen brother.

Fuck that shit, I'd make a killing on the insurance money.

House on fire, put it out, put it out.

Lol. No sentimental value tied up there then Tim?

Not enough to outweigh getting singed in a blaze, no.

Not maybe a few eyelashes for the Tokai?

it's not worth the most in terms of hard cash but i know i'd never find another guitar i love as much, so the '64 duo-sonic would be spared.

the paint hasn't even hardened all the way on it yet, i cant let it catch on fire.....


it would be a glorious fire

take a pic of that thing with decent lighting, yeah? i wanna see what color the green actually is.
