Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | If I'm heading out the door, the 1680. It goes where I go if gits are involved and/or I'll be away for a few days.
Around the house, I'll grab whatever is the 'flavor of the day/week'.
Don't do gigs... Customer/audience's welfare and safety considerations first, ya know... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Like any good carpenter I've got more tools than I need. But that just increases the likihood that I'll have the RIGHT tool when the need arises, no matter how seldom.
If ProfBB called me right now and said I needed to stand in for him at tonights gig, I'd grab the Takamine TNV760 CoolTube. Perfect size (OM cutaway) and plays like butter. Audience will assume "this guy knows his shit" just by the looks of the guitar.
But here's the kicker, That TNV760 never ever in a million years gets played around the house. I just always gravitate to others for some reason. Recent heavy home rotation is Guild D40, Tak 2009 and AJ's Collings. |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Recently, I've been grabbing the 01C, but last week it was the 1537, the week before that the Bubinga Elite, the week before that the 87C......
It's bad 'round here. Really, really bad. :rolleyes: :cool: |

Location: Boise, Idaho | One gets left at the cabin for the summer. That was the Balladeer, but I haven't got it back from daughter's former boyfriend yet, so it's the Matrix. The theory is I take something I don't have to worry about with temperature fluctuations.
The Country Artist is the office guitar, since it wasn't getting played at home.
The OFC, but now the 47RI, was the most likely to get grabbed before any other trips.
At home, it's whatever looks lonely and needs playing.
For gigs, I'll figure that out when the time comes. My lifetime total, counting family weddings and anniversary parties is about 100 less than Brad's total for the last 18 months. |

| Home rotation: in standard tuning, 87C, 1619, 1537 pretty evened out, depending on the song. I keep a Larrivee LV09 and a Tak TNV340 in alternate tunings.
For lessons: Tak solid body electric.
For open mic: either the 08C or the 1687, depending on whether I need the cutaway. Don't have to worry about bumping 'em against a mic stand or somebody sloshing a drink on 'em. |

Location: SoCal | Mostly around the house or acoustic jams? Legend. But I've got the GC RI here in my office. Usually gets picked up a lot when I'm in here.
Plugging in? Either the 87C or the GC RI.
Next question? |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | For my church-related gigs, mostly Jewel (the ssb Custom Elite), 'cause it's playing plugged in.
For DADGAD, Gertrude.
For bluegrass, whoever bounces up and down most in the case ;) ...usually Jewel, 'cause she's the lightest to tote, although Gertrude gets the nod when we do play out.
On the stand to be used at home, Princess (the Parlor.)
Anything vaguely electric, Jazzey (the Tornado.)

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | "If you have a choice..." Well, I DO have a choice, and I am blessed with so many fine guitars, I just grab whatever's closest. If I'm playing bluegrass, it's usually one of the Morgan Monroe's. Anything else, I grab whatever Ovation or Adamas is within reach. If I'm trying to show up a Taylor fan though, it's usually the Adamas. :D |

Location: PDX | I keep three guitars out in stands and they get roughly equal play.
Stanford PSOM-28 moves between DADGAD and open D (DADF#AD).
Collings C-10 in standard EADGBE.
Lowden S-10C in open G (DGDGBD).
I keep my Guild M-20 at the office, but the way things have been going there it hasn't been played much lately.
I'll pull out an electric every now and then -- but not often.
That leaves two that really just sit in their cases -- i should sell them off and free up some space. Then i can start looking for that round neck Dobro.

But Gallerinski makes a very valid point, there are gig guitars and house guitars and they aren't always the same. |

A Taylor Easy mistake to make. I believe the original question, "If you have a choice, what do you reach for" meant to imply reaching for a musical instrument, not firewood. |
