If you do end up on a deserted island, you'll have whatever you carried on the boat (or plane), or whatever dead passengers guitar floated ashore with you. Is there a crate of strings with it? If not, nylons will last longer (except the wound strings), but not forever... and would be better used as fishing line. If I could take my time to plan for a future banishment to a desert island, well... A hand laid bowl, carbon graphite top, 12 string urelite neck (for 12 or wideneck 6 string playing), and whatever strings would last the longest in a hot humid salty climate. ...oh, and if Shania was the only other survivor from the boat, I guess I would have to deal with that. :D | ||

The Island scenario, I agree, is a stupid distraction. You answered well but, what is a "hand laid bowl"? | ||

Back on topic, of any guitar I've ever played I'd have to say either an Adamas 1680 (or Ute, either way) or a McPherson MG 5.0 Adirondack Spruce/Tasmanian Blackwood...because that's what you do in the islands... :cool: | ||

The Coolest thing I've played was a Blue Adamas at the PNW Mini Gathering... The Coolest thing I've own is my 1115-HB... But my 112-4* is down-right dependable, and is played the most! But I doubt any of these are my LAST guitar... I'm still shopping... *[courtesy of Scott W. Englund... Long-time-no-read] | ||

The modern ones are some kind of plastic injected into the mold. The fiberglass is makes for a much lighter body. You answered well but, what is a "hand laid bowl"? Well, leaving behind the desert island scenario (good bye Shania..) of the guitars I own, it would be the U681T-12, so as to double as a 6 or 12 string. | ||

Went to law school there, got married there, bought my Custom Balladeer from there and the inlaws from Cedar Rapids are visiting us now. The Hawkeyes are pretty much sucking pond water this year. Law School class of 1978 | ||
